To be honest, I don't have a definite answer for who wrote elevator fiction. It might be a group of writers collaborating or a single author who's not widely known yet.
Yes, short story collections are great for elevator reading. For example, 'The Complete Sherlock Holmes'. Each story is short enough to be read during a short elevator trip, and you can enjoy the brilliant detective work of Sherlock Holmes.
It was Arthur C. Clarke who originated the notion of the space elevator in the realm of science fiction. His writings laid the foundation, and subsequent writers have taken this idea and run with it, adding their own twists and elaborations.
The sudden strange noises make it scary. Like when you're in a small enclosed space like an elevator and there are unexplained creaking or groaning sounds, it immediately sets an uneasy mood.
Well, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' could be a good one. It's full of magic and mystery. You can get lost in the wizarding world of Hogwarts even during a short elevator ride. The story is engaging and can make your elevator time more interesting.
One well - known space elevator science fiction book is 'The Fountains of Paradise' by Arthur C. Clarke. It vividly explores the concept of building a space elevator, with detailed descriptions of the engineering challenges and the potential impact on humanity's future in space.
Once, an elderly woman got stuck in an elevator. A little girl who was also in the elevator comforted her. They waited patiently until the maintenance staff came. It shows that in an elevator emergency, people can support each other. Another story is about a man who noticed a strange noise in the elevator. He immediately reported it to the authority, and it was found that there was a minor malfunction which was then repaired, preventing a possible major accident.
There was a group of friends who decided to try the elevator game as a dare. They entered the elevator at midnight. As they went through the sequence of floors, they heard eerie noises. When they finally reached the 'destination' floor, the elevator doors opened to a pitch - black corridor. One of the friends got so scared that they immediately pressed the ground floor button and the elevator took them back to safety. It was a spooky experience that they would never forget.
Chances are it isn't. Most of the time, these kinds of stories are the product of the author's imagination to offer a unique and captivating reading experience.
