ooh love this! what would be your number one recommendation from this list (so far)?
Not op, but of the ones I've read The Luminous Dead is my favourite! Claustrophobic cave horror from the author of The Starving Saints.
I loved this one too!

i LOVED the luminous dead, it’s second only on this list to the white road by sarah lotz—it includes caving and high altitude mountaineering and it’s SO GOOD
i LOVE this niche and i’ve read all but one book on this list—if you need recs please let me know!!
I adore this trope in movies, I'm excited to explore it more in books! Thanks for the list!!
