One of the books that surprised me most was Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky.
Not just because of the post-apocalyptic setting, but because of how alive the underground world felt. The stations weren’t simply shelters, they became entire civilizations shaped by fear, survival, and isolation.
That atmosphere stayed with me for years and became one of the inspirations behind my own project, London Tube 2033, a dark underground survival novel set beneath a ruined London.
I’ve recently started publishing the first chapters online, and seeing readers slowly enter that world has been one of the most rewarding parts of writing it.
