What are some good modern "solo-exploration" horror books?
What are some good horror books that primarily feature one person travelling alone into an unknown place (haunted house, other dimension, etc), and their experiences there? If Alice in Wonderland was a horror book, it would be a perfect example. I suppose the Silent Hill video games are sort of in that theme (one person, travelling alone, isolated, etc.).
Pan’s Labyrinth is a good film example of this genre.
There are lots of them. I was going to say that Silent Hill-esque games are still very popular. There are many solo horror stories in the horror/fantasy section of your local bookstore. Ghost stories seem particular popular for this type of adventure.
As to why people like group explorations, it is because it gives you more fodder to get killed, betray, fall in love, etc. More than one person opens up access to a host of emotions and story-telling options not available to a single character.
