AMMDI is an open-notebook hypertext writing experiment, authored by Mike Travers aka mtraven. It's a work in progress and some parts are more polished than others. Comments welcome! More.
Thty discussed The Lottery (of course) and Haunting of Hill House, which I haven't read, but I did quite recently read We Have Always Lived in the Castle (see quarantine reading 2020 ).
My 2020 quarantine reading 2020 began with with Delillo's White Noise, which I thought had a loose thematic connection to the circumstances. The central event of the book is The Airborn Toxic Event, an industrial accident that turns the characters into temporary refugees, upsetting their self-absorbed suburban-academic lives. Death, a shadowy presence in their lives from the start, is now something close by, intimate, and even more inescapable than it was before. They are acutely aware not just of death, but of their own fear of death, and of the inadequacy of their strategies for holding it at bay.
