I like the darkness of Yellowjackets and the fact that it is about a group of girls. The survival aspect is also cool. In particular, I am looking for a dark book that explores the dynamics of a group of girls.
If you like fantasy, Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor series) by Mark Lawrence is a group of girls raised to be warriors in a convent. It’s quite dark and their lives are regularly in danger

You might like Wilder Girls by Rory Power. It wasn’t for me but it could fit your request

Foxfire by Joyce Carol Oates. It’s about a girl gang in the 1950s.

I recommend We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry. It is less horror than Yellowjackets and more humor, but there are still some dark themes. It is about a high school female field hockey team that starts using witchcraft to begin winning games. The writing is super smart.

Libba Bray’s Beauty Queens must have been an inspiration for the show and deserves to get residuals.
