I picked up 'Cabin' on a whim after seeing it recommended in a thriller lovers' group, and I have to say, it kept me flipping pages way past bedtime. The premise—a group of friends trapped in a remote cabin with a killer among them—is classic horror setup, but Preston adds enough twists to keep it fresh. The pacing is relentless, and just when you think you've figured it out, another curveball comes your way.
That said, the characters sometimes feel like they lean into horror-movie clichés—the reckless one, the skeptic, the final girl—but the dialogue snaps with enough realism to ground them. If you're into atmospheric, fast-paced thrillers with a side of nostalgia for campfire ghost stories, this one’s a solid choice. It won’t redefine the genre, but it’s a heck of a ride.
