The End of the World & After - But Not US-centric!
Much of the post/apoc genre is taken up by US-centric fiction, giving a very specific mindset & often a similar type of apocalypse. There's a strong focus on guns & military. Settings outside the US can provide us with unusual, diverse & interesting stories of survival
Sister list to: Zombie Apocs - But Not US-centric
Fictional settings allowed. Some books may cross borders, inc sections in the US. Allowance made for US indigenous authors

Every Book Mentioned in Cry Havoc (Rebecca Wait)
I think the author is using books as a character and social commentary. Iโve added one film poster & one play reference because they were originally written stories. I wonder if I have missed any.
(Cry Havoc is a wry, compelling, and funnier than expected, mystery at an all girls boarding school in 1980โs UK. Everyone has a secret and everything is going wrong. Thereโs a strange contagion taking place. A very satisfying read).
