hi there,
new to this sub, so please be gentle! I am a huge fan of post apocalyptic books, so have read most of the more well known ones:
- The Stand
- The Passage trilogy
- The Girl with all the Gifts
- The Road
- MaddAddam trilogy
- On the Beach
What really great ones am I missing on my read list?
TIA!

Life as We Knew it by Susan Beth Pfeffer (young adult, but still very good)
A Scientific Romance by Ronald Wright (an older and rather unusual novel involving HG Wells‘s Time Machine and a variant of mad cow disease)
The Chrysalids by John Wyndam
The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham—both Wyndham books are excellent!
Lucifer’s Hammer. You actually get pre, apocalyptic, and post.
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
Have you read Swan Song by Robert McCammon?
(Not exactly recent, but it’s outstanding)
Oh, and Earth Abides by George Stewart
WORLD WAR Z!
DAVID MOODY’s series – Hater and Autumn.
QualityLand, by Mark-Uwe Kling, I think can be described as post apocalyptic – but it’s very entertaining. Maybe even hilarious. So not your grandfather’s postapocalypticism. …postapocalypticosity?
