Pandemic

The way the virus spreads and mutates felt so visceral and terrifying. I'm curious if the author drew from real-world outbreaks or went purely into horror fiction.

There were moments where the characters' choices made me root for them, but also made me uneasy about how far people are willing to go in crisis.

The science felt grounded but still terrifying — I wonder what led to the decision to emphasize certain scientific details versus more supernatural aspects.
