Books about exploring the unknown
Anomalous zones, alien structures, and doomed expeditions! This is an eclectic chart of sci-fi and horror books themed around exploration of strange and fascinating places. The titles were chosen from my list of over 60 books in the style of Annihilation, Roadside Picnic, and Rendezvous with Rama.

Extremely random selection of book fanart, presented in the order I read them:
1. Blood Meridian - The Past is a Different Country. Probably the most perspective changing book I've ever read, as someone who lives in an area with one of its biggesr claims to fame of being a former Cowtown. As a meticulously researched depiction of the old west, it is probably the least tumblr friendly book of all time
2. Ringworld - this one was dogshit but some of the aliens and ideas are cool. Have a puppeteer.
3. Roadside Picnic - :,)
4. A Game of Thrones - Neither as good nor as bad as people say, felt like trying to draw how I pictured a few characters bc most of the art makes them too old, too sexy, or both
