My next reads were Jeff Vandermeer's "Authority" and "Acceptance", books 2 and 3 in the horror/SF Southern Reach trilogy. They're very atmospheric books with interesting characters but the ending was left too ambigious for my tastes. The premise: mysterious Area X appeared 30 years ago on US soil separating a good chunck of land from the rest. It's pretty remote area, though, but Area X seems pretty malevolent and quickly wipes clean most signs of human civilization. The first book, "Annihiliation", is the diary of one of the people sent inside Area X. "Authority" centers on the government agency which has been created to oversee the border of the area and analyzing samples from there. Paranoia and distrust is rampant. "Acceptance" is again set inside Area X.
