Leave the World Behind

A family are enjoying a short break in an Airbnb, just outside NY, when the owners turn up, seeking refuge after a blackout in the city. As communications systems fail and they're completely cut off, an omniscient narrator feeds us snippets of information about what's happening in the outside world that the characters aren't party to, giving us a unique overview of the story. So eerily quiet, the creeping dread in this novel almost makes it a horror. Loved it.
