Recently I realized how much I love stories where people are trapped in a place and there are mysteries (often supernatural) happening.
Right now I’m watching the show From and absolutely loving it. I also love shows like Lost, Yellowjackets, The Wilds, The Society, and The Leftovers. And I really enjoyed the book Under the Dome by Stephen King (though the tv show wasn’t well done, IMO).
All of these stories share common elements where there’s some kind of mystery or mysteries happening and people are trying to survive together.
I’m hoping to read some books that tell this same kind of story.
Can anyone suggest a book that might be similar to what I’ve described here? I believe this might fall under survival fiction or isolation fiction. (Obviously Lord of the Flies is a famous example which I intend to read soon.)
