If you ask someone what apocalyptic fiction they've read involving zombies, there's a fair chance most or even all of that list will have been written by cis men, because they're the books that get the most publication & promotion in the genre

My hope is that this list will help someone find a new favourite author! ♡

Sister list to The End & After - No Cis-Male Authors

First of a series only

Suggestions so welcome, particularly for trans, enby & other authors of marginalised genders

Fiction books by disabled authors

forever chasing the high of the first three seasons of The Walking Dead 😭 books featuring zombies & the zombie apocalypse.

psa: I do not agree with Nicki minaj’s political views

as always, taking suggestions!

We need more disabled characters in media so here's a bunch of examples of good representation

Disability & Neurodivergency stories are rare in apocalypse & zombie books. I've found as many as I could!

As always, suggestions incredibly welcome! I'd love to round this one out!

Not intended as a list of good neurodivergent & dis rep (thou many of them absolutely are - lots are even written by disabled/ND authors! I just haven't yet read them all, so can't recommend every book on this list), but disabled or neurodivergent characters feature heavily in these stories of survival

In honour of the 2026 nominations, this list compiles all the nominees for the Hugo Award for Best Novel from 2010 - 2026.

July is Disability Pride Month! Here's a big pile of books with disabled characters. All the books also have at least one queer character, and in most cases, the queer character and the disabled character are one and the same. (There are a few non-fiction titles in the mix as well; representation for queerness may be subtext/interpreted). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Zombie reading list packed with outbreaks, survival, and the occasional accidental bite. Even the apocalypse has its awkward moments.

Is this mostly poached from GoodReads and reddit? Yes 😊 Do I care? 😏

Bio-horror, zombies, medical experiments, folk horror & viral infections - if you have any recommendations, please lmk!!

Apocalyptic reads with a big focus on found family. This list meshes all kinds of apocalypses, zombies included.

Recommendations extremely welcome - gimme alllll the found families surviving together! 😍

First of a series only, except in cases where it's further into the series that the found family element really kicks in.

My favourites are the top half of the list, if you want a place to start ;) (There's a few at the very bottom that I haven't yet read myself, so no shade to them!!)

These are zombie books I have enjoyed (only putting the 1st in a series or standalone)

Novels about life after death: zombies, ghosts, after life, and reincarnation.

apocalyptic worlds. classic books but also some random recs of my own. sci-fi¿ zombie fiction! i’d love to see a quest like this someday, not many quests cater to what I read ❤️‍🩹 if you feel the same then like this list and save it, enjoy reading! 🩶🧟‍♀️

Past and present winners and nominees of the Shirley Jackson Awards. Frightful reading!

I’m an audiobook lover, and I’m always looking for great audiobooks! Rather than just listing my favorites, I thought I’d make a list of audiobooks that have won Audie Awards from 2010-2015.

There are so many, so I stuck to specific categories. Not all categories are in all years, so there is some inconsistency. I included the following categories:

• Audiobook of the year
• Autobiography/Memoir
• Erotica
• Spanish
• Fantasy
• Fiction
• History/Biography
• Humor
• Horror
• Literary Fiction
• Classics
• Middle Grade
• Mystery
• Nonfiction
• Romance
• Science Fiction
• Short Stories/Collections
• Thriller/Suspense
• YA/Teens
• Paranormal

Happy listening!

So zombies (or ghouls) don’t seem scary to me until I start thinking about them and then they become the most terrifying thing ever.

So let’s read about them!

Suggestions welcome:)

Post-apocalyptic books - not apocalyptic (happening in the book). Books where an apocalyptic event has happened - nuclear bombs, viral outbreak, the Thanos snap and society is trying to put itself back together or just living in the post-apocalyptic world. If you have ideas for books, please let me know ☺️

Zombies and the apocalypse, what else fits better together?!

get ready for everything except the word “zombies” to be used

Books categorized as urban fantasy. The more (human shaped) creatures, the better!
