If the overnight eruption of forests and the fraught road-journey with Adrien, Hannah, and Seb gripped you in The Trees, you'll click with the tense travel of Melanie, Miss Justineau, and their escorts across a fungus-overrun Britain in The Girl With All the Gifts. The same mix of constant foraging, moral compromises at roadside waystations, and encounters with a new, uncanny ecology mirrors the danger and wonder you liked—right down to how the landscape itself becomes the real antagonist.

Loved how The Trees made the forest feel alive—those folkloric hints of the Green Man and the way the woods seemed to watch Adrien’s group? Annihilation doubles down on that vibe. Following the Biologist into Area X, you’ll get living topography (the “tower”/tunnel), indecipherable organisms, and journals that suggest the land has intentions. It’s the same uncanny, whispering-wilds energy, but distilled into a taut, hypnotic expedition.

If the mythic presence of the woods in The Trees—from sudden sylvan takeover to figures like the Green Man—made you feel the forest was a character, The Overstory turns that intuition into a sweeping, human-scale epic. Through Patricia Westerford’s research and a web of activists and wanderers, it invites you to sense how trees communicate, remember, and reshape destinies—echoing the awe you felt as Adrien learned to read the new world’s living signals.

If the day-to-day scrabble in The Trees—tracking game trails, rationing, and navigating a lawless, newly wooded Britain with Adrien, Hannah, and Seb—was your sweet spot, The New Wilderness puts you back in the grind. Bea and Agnes join a sanctioned roaming group where a single misstep (even leaving a trace) can be fatal. Like Adrien’s crew, they’re remade by the land, and every campsite choice carries real, bodily stakes.

If you were moved by how Adrien, Hannah, and Seb become a fragile, protective unit amid the overgrown ruins in The Trees, you’ll appreciate the found bonds in The Book of M. As people’s shadows vanish—and with them their memories—Ory, Max, and the companions they meet cling to one another through shifting identities and dangerous detours. The emotional core is the same: a road story where loyalty is built step by step in a world that’s no longer playing by the old rules.
