while you're waiting for more Yellowjackets...
Obviously I’m not the only one who fell head-over-heels for Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” a moody, creepy-tense dual-timeline thriller about a girls’ soccer team marooned in the wilderness and driven to extremes to survive. Now that the first season is over, what can fans do to fill the vacuum? Well, Paste Magazine has some great suggestions of books to read while you wait, and you can imagine my delight to see THE ARCTIC FURY on the list! And Lacy Baugher Milas’s summary is on point:
A dual timeline thriller about 13 women who are tragically stranded in a remote wilderness and the fallout that ensues when not all of them return? Is this Yellowjackets: The Novel? No, it’s Greer Macallister’s The Arctic Fury, a thrilling piece of historical fiction that follows a group of extraordinary women sent in search of the lost Franklin Expedition.
Check out the whole list, including Alma Katsu’s Donner Party-inspired The Hunger and Grady Hendrix’s horror remix The Final Girl Support Group, here at this link.
