Why read it?
1 author picked Stranded as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While the aforementioned Ararat channels The Thing, Stranded leans into another classic horror film, Jacob’s Ladder.
Lost and completely alone, the crew of the Arctic Promise finds itself in dire straits as each one succumbs to a mysterious illness. Eventually, they are frozen in, landlocked, and forced to leave the ship.
There are so many ways to die in the Arctic, and this book explores them all. Visceral, disturbing, and rippling with psychological horror, it is a thrilling read. Known for his genre-bending work and original storytelling, this might be my favorite book by Bracken MacLeod.
From Richard's list on Arctic and winter horror books.
