Well, since when I saw the trailer for Annihilation I started shrieking with joy because I thought they were doing a movie adaptation of Ian McDonald's 1995 book Chaga (which annihilation - at least the movie version - straight up rips off and riffs on) I can wholeheartedly recommend that one to you. The US pressing sometimes has the title Evolution's Shore instead.
I think you might also like China Mieville.
I'll definitely check it out! Book Annihilation is very different than movie Annihilation although until I read Chaga I can't really give an opinion on whether it's ripping off anything from it. I did a fair bit of research about the book for a university essay and didn't find any secondary sources comparing the two that I can remember.
