If you found yourself gripped by the relentless drive and sense of purpose in The Ritual as Hutch, Luke, Phil, and Dom struggle to survive and escape the Swedish forest, you'll be equally riveted by The Troop. Here, a troop of Boy Scouts and their leader are stranded on a remote island as a horrifying contagion spreads, forcing them to confront both external threats and mounting psychological terror. The story barrels forward with a desperate energy that will keep you turning the pages late into the night.

Did you appreciate the way The Ritual traps a group of friends together and forces them to rely on—and betray—each other as they face mounting horror? The Terror brings together a large cast of characters aboard two doomed ships trapped in the Arctic ice, as they confront starvation, mutiny, and something monstrous lurking in the darkness. The shifting dynamics and deep exploration of each member's psyche make the group drama as chilling as the supernatural threat.

If you were drawn to Luke's psychological descent in The Ritual—his grappling with guilt, fear, and a sense of being hunted—then Reviver offers a similarly intense journey into the mind. Jonah Miller is a forensic reviver who brings the dead briefly back to life, but after a harrowing encounter with a malevolent force, his grip on reality and sanity begins to fray. The narrative delves deeply into Jonah's inner turmoil, providing a dark, thoughtful exploration of trauma and obsession.

If it's the suffocating, oppressive mood of The Ritual—the sense that something unknowable is always lurking just out of sight in the forest—that hooked you, you'll find the same chilling atmosphere in Bird Box. Malorie and her children must traverse a post-apocalyptic landscape blindfolded, never knowing what horrors might be watching. The tension and bleakness are relentless, making for a nerve-shredding read.

If the mythological undertones and folklore-inspired terror in The Ritual—especially the monstrous, ancient presence stalking the group—fascinated you, The Only Good Indians will be a perfect next read. It follows four friends as they are haunted by a vengeful entity rooted in Native American legend, skillfully blending supernatural horror with cultural history and guilt. The way the past and myth bleed into the present is both unsettling and mesmerizing.
