The "Krakatoa" category in books refers to a genre that encompasses dramatic, explosive narratives characterized by sudden and intense developments or revelations that drastically alter the storyline or the lives of the characters involved. Much like the historic 1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano, which was cataclysmic and transformative, books in this category feature plotlines that build up to monumental climaxes, leading to significant changes in the narrative or the characters’ perspectives. This genre is not confined to any specific setting or time period but is defined by the scale and impact of the events it describes, often weaving themes of disaster, survival, and the profound effects of nature or unexpected events on human lives and societies.
