Genres

Donner Pass

The "Donner Pass" category of books would likely encompass works that delve into themes of survival, human endurance, and the darker aspects of history and human nature. Named after the infamous Donner Party tragedy of 1846-1847, where a group of American pioneers resorted to cannibalism to survive after becoming snowbound in the Sierra Nevada, this genre would include both non-fiction accounts of similar historical events and fictional stories inspired by such dire circumstances. The books in this category would explore the psychological and physical limits of people in extreme situations, the moral quandaries faced by individuals when confronted with life-and-death decisions, and the complex interplay between nature, fate, and human will. Whether historical, thriller, or horror, "Donner Pass" books would promise a chilling and thought-provoking reading experience, often serving as a grim reminder of the lengths to which people might go when pushed to the brink of survival.
