The Cabin taps into one of horror fiction’s most reliable settings: a remote location where characters have nowhere to run and no one to hear them scream. Matt Shaw’s two-book series, beginning in 2012, uses the cabin-in-the-woods framework not as a cliche but as an opportunity to push his brand of extreme horror into a claustrophobic, pressure-cooker scenario.
The first book establishes the situation and characters before things deteriorate in the way Shaw’s readers have come to expect. The Cabin II: Asylum continues the story, pushing the horror further and building on the foundation of the original. A boxset edition is also available for those who want both volumes together, along with additional EMP survival content.
For fans of extreme horror who appreciate physical isolation as a storytelling device, The Cabin delivers the relentless tension and graphic content that define Shaw’s best work. The series is compact, punchy, and wastes no time getting into the darkness.
