Any suggestions for a post-apocalyptic book that’s as bleak and brutal as The Road?
The Road was such a good read in terms of how it painted a landscape that was completely bleak, and (some) characters that were ruthless, unforgiving, and brutal. I’m looking for something that rivals this.
Don’t know if it’s 100% what you’re looking for but look outside by Neil schusterman or any books by him he writes science fiction books that takes place in the future. Specifically size is about when in the future people don’t die what size are people who are charged was killing people to control the population there’s supposed to be kind and do it in a humane way like euthanizing but they become evil and enjoy violence. Is a pretty good book. Another one is unwind it’s a four-part series by Neal schusterman and it’s about how they can take body parts that have been harvested to make a whole new person. They’re super cool and very creepy I would say check out unwind first very awesome story they’re both set in the future

Are you into nonfiction? “Say Nothing” by Patrick Radden Keefe is pretty post-revolutionary and bleak, albeit probably unintentionally.

The Long Walk by Stephen King is bleak and brutal, just in a different more surreal way
