The Magnus Archives Challenge - hosted by unicornsbookshelf

The Buried - A book set in a claustrophobic place
The fear of small spaces, suffocating, drowning, being buried alive. Fear of everything crashing down around/on oneself. Fear of being trapped without enough space.

For this prompt, read a book set underwater or underground, with scenes that happen in mines, caves, or small closed rooms. It doesn't have to be the whole book, it can be one POV or even just a chapter.
