Recs if you like Survival Kit (Disabled in the Age of Zombies, #1)...

Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.

in honor of disability pride month, here is a series on the colours of the flag! our third colour on this flag is white, which highlights invisible or undiagnosed disabilities. examples of some of these are ehlers danlos syndrome, chronic illnesses, MECFS, long covid, fibromyalgia, POTS, ulcerative colitis, IBS, and more. books within this list will be fiction and non-fiction. as always, feel free to recommend books which you feel should be added to this list.

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

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

Queer and trans stories in, or after, the zombie apocalypse!

First of a series only

Sister list to: Apocalyptic, but Make it Queer

As always, suggestions incredibly welcome!

☠

Note: Not specifically a list of good LGBTQ+ representation (though many of them absolutely are, and many are written by queer and/or trans authors!). But I have not read all of them (yet), so this list doesn't inherently imply my recommendation, as such.

Note: The Sapphic story in The Revanche Cycle tetralogy (Winter's Reach) continues in the Wisdom's Grave trilogy (Sworn To The Night), which also has the final HEA. However the two series can be read independently of each other.

Much of the Zombie genre is set in the US. This list collates zombie fiction from all over the world. Different people groups. Different mindsets. Different access to weapons & attitudes towards those weapons. A different focus on how to survive The End

Sister list to: The End of the World & After - But Not US-Centric

Fictional settings allowed. Books may cross borders, spending time in the US. Allowance made for US indigenous authors

First of a series only

Suggestions so welcome!
