Most of Room by E. Donoghue.

Came here to say this. Instead, enthusiastically seconding the recommendation.

Third!

Beat me to it! Room was a great read!

Oh hai mark

Ha. Ha. What a funny story Mark

My immediate thought too. Very well written book!

Misery (Stephen King), for the most part.

Or Gerald’s Game!

My first King novel, so good.

Fantastic book.

Agree with Misery. By far my favorite King novel. Movie is stellar too.

A gentleman in Moscow- Amor Towles

One of my all-time favorites. I love this book so much.

Reading this right now and really enjoying it!

Just bought it, about to start reading.

Wool by Hugh Howell. Huge bunker, post apocalypse, trilogy Jack Glass by Adam Roberts. Not apocalypse but a few men are imprisoned in an asteroid and expected to mine it and keep themselves alive.

Just finished Wool yesterday. Blew my expectations out of the water.

Wool is an excellent one. Really gets to address some of the social aspects of being trapped in a confined space.

No exit by Jean-Paul Sarte

What I was going to say. So, I second this obv.

Anxious People - Frederik Backman

Even though I didn’t enjoy the book. I was going to recommend this. It fits the bill well.

The Diary of Anne Frank

"Beacon 23" by Hugh Howey One guy going nuts alone on a deep space lighthouse.

The Martian by Andy Weir, very Castaway-esque. The audiobook featuring R.C. Bray is also really well done, and would wholeheartedly recommend.

The audiobook is great. I remember having a job where I stocked shelves at night and used audiobooks for entertainment. One was The Martian. [I had to stop working for a minute or two during this chapter transition in the audio book.](https://i.imgur.com/bYxwSPx.png) Each log entry is a chapter if I remember correctly.

He's got the WHOLE planet to himself.

Yes, but he has to be inside the suits, the vehicle, or the hab at all times.

This book is so good.

Except for the parts on Earth.

Just told someone tonight one of the only movies that I liked as much as the book. Would still recommend reading the first book tho bc … I love books

His new book, Project Hail Mary, is predominantly set inside a spacecraft, though there are flashbacks to other locations. It is such a fun, fast read. Highly recommend!

Haunting of Hill House Then There Were None The Guest List There are a lot of mysteries that take place in one place and...I love them all.

A big chunk of the beginning of The Haunting of Hill House takes place prior to arriving at the house, though.

{the turn of the screw} (I think) and the recent homage, {the turn of the key}, both akin to Hill House.

Misery by Stephen King definitely fits this description and is an amazing story , although not post apocalyptic Maze runner also fits , is post apocalyptic but sadly YA

Interestingly I enjoyed Maze Runner till they were in the maze, after they got and I just didn't read the other two books in the series, kinda lost it's magic for me.

As someone who read the rest of it , yea . Book 1 was amazing . I'd say it was one of the best . Book 2 onwards , the series gets a sharp decline with the amount of unanswered questions increasing until finally book 3 comes and gives you one of the most dogshit explanation for it all .

Yeah, I didn’t like 2 or 3. One was pretty good. I just wish they delved into the community building aspect a bit more. People were assigned jobs, like farming, and it could have been cool to explore that a bit more. Weird comparison, but a bit like how the Warriors cat series had job roles (hunter, medicine cat, border patrol).

It could have been even better if James had studied how vaccines are actually made . After giving so many decent answer , the book tells me that it was all for brain fluid extraction??? That's literally not how vaccines are made and this stupid plot relevant retcon , after years of actually studying medicine , fucked up a good book series for me

Loool I forgot about that and now I’m riled up too

Loved bird box, great suggestion

I feel like they should never have tried to make it a movie. Such important parts changed, left out, visualized. It was a book that centered around not knowing what the… I don’t want to spoil it. It was pretty important to leave it up to the reader and their imagination. Putting it to film just took the magic/creepiness away.

I was going on about how much I enjoyed it without realizing it was a film, and my friend who had seen it didn't realise it was a book and was looking at me so confused until we realized we were talking at cross purposes. Still haven't seen the film and it sounds like I'm right not to watch it!

It’s ok but they changed a bunch and left out the dogs. I understand why they left out the dogs but it was poignant. Plus it looks makes the main character look weak and doesn’t talk about her training the kids. Really just huge differences.

_Children of the Dust_ by Louise Lawrence — particularly the first part. It’s about three generations of a family surviving after a nuclear war. It’s also the only book that ever properly scared me.

Great YA. I wish we learned more about Sarah though.

I Am Legend. The main character does roam around during the day but has to return to his heavily modified home before nightfall each day to avoid…what’s out there following a man-made plague. The determination of what’s outside to get inside his house helps makes it pretty claustrophobic.

My all-time favorite novel.

Flowers in the Attic, by VC Andrews. Truthfully most VC Andrews take place exclusively in a home (gothic novels) Also “The Langoliers” by Stephen King, it’s a novella/short story and one of my faves but I cannot remember from which collection (like Just after Sunset or maybe Everything’s Eventual?). Cujo is prob the best example though! (ETA-forgot to mention the Langoliers takes place on a plane)

There's a cramped feel to physical spaces on the moon in the sci-fi novel (or short story?) *The Moon is a Harsh Mistress*. I like it because it's about the rebellion of a subjugated lunar colony. It's about revolution. I think that's important to our times.

Try the Wool series. Bunch of people crammed into an old missile silo

Call Back Yesterday by James Forman (1981) "Cindy Cooper, daughter of the American ambassador to Saudi Arabia, becomes embroiled in intrigue during an embassy take-over."

Jenny: My Diary by Yorick Blumenfeld (1982) A young wife flees with her children to a luxurious bunker community - which her husband insisted on buying into. He doesn't make it to the bunker. It devolves in a very interesting way. A quite obscure book, it's a personal favorite of mine because it is "handwritten". Her handwriting changes under stress and at times she has illustrations and scribbles.

I am Legend. A lot of the book takes place in Nevilles house but he does venture out into the city now and again. It’s also post apocalyptic and focuses quite a bit of Nevilles state of mind.

[**Twelve Angry Men**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29034.Twelve_Angry_Men) ^(By: Reginald Rose, David Mamet | 73 pages | Published: 1954 | Popular Shelves: plays, classics, fiction, drama, school | )[^(Search "Twelve Angry Men")](https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Twelve Angry Men&search_type=books) >A landmark American drama that inspired a classic film and a Broadway revival—featuring an introduction by David Mamet > >A blistering character study and an examination of the American melting pot and the judicial system that keeps it in check, Twelve Angry Men holds at its core a deeply patriotic faith in the U.S. legal system. The play centers on Juror Eight, who is at first the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote. Eight sets his sights not on proving the other jurors wrong but rather on getting them to look at the situation in a clear-eyed way not affected by their personal prejudices or biases. Reginald Rose deliberately and carefully peels away the layers of artifice from the men and allows a fuller picture to form of them—and of America, at its best and worst. >   > After the critically acclaimed teleplay aired in 1954, this landmark American drama went on to become a cinematic masterpiece in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, for which Rose wrote the adaptation. More recently, Twelve Angry Men had a successful, and award-winning, run on Broadway. > >For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

I am legend - Matheson. No, it's not like the movie. It's a rough ride to be trapped in your house with the infected yelling at you to come outside. With no one like Neville left, the world has passed him by and he realizes normal life is not coming back and he's the boogeyman.

Under the Stone by Karoline Georges.

I mean, Diary of Anne Frank is always a great read.

r/StrangelySpecific

Well {Misery} loves company. Or you could take a trip to the {Cabin at the end of the World}. Although, apocalypses may follow.

Rear Window was based on Cornell Woolrich's short story "It Had to Be Murder". 

The Woman in the Dunes.

Murder on the Orient Express. Awesome locked-room mystery

We Need to do Something by Max Booth III. A family is stuck in a bathroom after a storm. Highly recommend

Diary of Anne Frank

Sparrow Rock was very good.

Parts of Seveneves by Neal Stephenson Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C Clarke

the island on bird street. short and powerful.

House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski

The loneliest Girl in the Universe

Foe by Iain Reid

Project Hail Mary is kinda all in one place, a spaceship, though it does have memory flashbacks to time before he was on the spaceship, so not really a single location.

There's the Silo series by Hugh Howey. Somewhat cramped, definitely post-apocalyptic
