The wind off the sea and the odd interior stillness dulled our ability to gauge direction,

Long after finishing ANNIHILATION, someone brought up the subject of Cold Skin, by a Catalan writer. The novel is set on an isolated island and deals with issues of loneliness, aloneness, and desolation. It includes a lighthouse and a monster. The words “annihilation” and “annihilate” pop up two or three times. The two novels are completely different and I had never encountered the author before, but there is no denying a thematic resonance.

There is a film adaptation too, but it may be a hyperbolic version of the book. Not sure. Didn't read or see.
