Horror Aficionados discussion

I've just finished Death Tour and it was awesome. I wonder if there are more horror novels about doomed urban exploration tours. Creepers by David Morrell falls into the same category.

The second half of Tom Deady's Backwater is a lot like Creepers.

Would stories about Chernobyl fall under Urban Exploration Horror?

Yes, of course, provided there are horror elements to them.

Hmm well I'm totally looking some up now!

i'm creeping! i haven't read any from this category so i'm going to linger to see the suggestions.

Also lurking. Read and loved Creepers (sequel was okay, but not UE focused), and would like thrills in the same vein.

Thanks, James, I didn't even know Creepers had a sequel.

Add another lurker to the pack.
I know there are quite a few Urban Legends and r/creepypasta definitely has a lot of urban-exploration-gone-wrong stuff, however, I can't think of a single book that fits both the Horror & UE bill. What I can recommend is the movie As Above, So Below by John Erick Dowdle. It is quite intense and follows a bunch of doomed tourists and locals as they descend below the city of Paris.

Warning for that movie- shaky cam!! I could not watch it.

Include me in the lurker pack, too!

Yep, Scavenger. Scavenger hunts and time capsules are the linchpins for that. Also, straight thriller with almost no horror elements. Still, most Morrell is worth a read.

Creepers looks good, I'll have to add it to the TBR.

The Prisoner of Hell Gate This is the only one I can think of right now. I thought it was pretty good.
It is kind of suprising there are not more novels with an urbex theme.
