recommendations welcome, as always!

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

First of a series only

Suggestions welcome!

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

A compilation of all of Belletrist’s monthly picks

At Nohara66's request, scfi books "without space and physics!" (Or as close as can be). Some of these do feature spaceships in the background or as a step from point A to B, or set within galactic empires, or once colonised worlds, but involve no physics and don't focus on life/travel in space.

This list focuses on climate fiction, specifically on floods and rising sea levels set in a near or dystopian future.

Novels and short story collection that focus on motherhood and feminine rage

Books from Belletrist Book Club and some extra reccos from their IG account (I.e stacked or YA spotlight)
