While reading The Martian, the obvious elements in that story that we've covered before is isolation and fear. Mark Watney was alone for two years, his only friend for a short time was a mars rover. Just like any horror story/film that we covered, being somewhere so unknown and literally out of your normal element and far from your home can send anyone into an endless state of fear. Mark does have something to kinda help him though which is his humor. He might not have anyone to share it with but it does keep him happy for the most part. In comparison to the other horror stories that have a strong isolation element to them, this is whole new level of loneliness for someone to face.
