Recs if you like Last One at the Party...

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

these are books with numbers in their titles, starting at one (1) and going through infinity

taking suggestions!!!

If you ask someone what apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction they've read, there's a fair chance much of that list will have been written by cis men, because they're the books that get the most promotion in the genre.

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

Pre-, early and post- apocalyptic dystopias

books that centre around the apocalypse or the potential for an event to become apocalyptic. may include some dystopian books, zombie stories, climate fiction, pandemic narratives, and natural disasters. the story may centre on a single place rather than the entire world. not all of these were perfect reads but they were still interesting. contains only books i've read
