Crimes committed by movie studios against amazing books. “The book walked, so these movies could trip and fall down the stairs” - JadeLovesBooks ✨

Horror books were cameras and journals may be all that remain

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!

Stories centered around isolation, being stranded, societal collapse, and surviving in the wilderness.

Disability & Neurodivergency stories are rare in apocalypse & zombies 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 read them all, so can't recommend every book on this list), but disabled or neurodivergent characters feature heavily in these stories of survival

Apocalyptic and/or post apocalyptic books

Times are tough… Here is a list of books that I was able to find as free audiobooks available on YouTube or Spotify!

Books that ignore the traditional way of telling a story. These books tell their stories in unexpected ways, through letters, transcripts, diaries, documents, text messages, or unconventional layouts.

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!

We think of summer as the season of light, but shadows are longest when the sun is highest. It is the time of the year when the woods grow too thick to see through, the water grows too dark to see into, and the heat makes the mind play tricks. From the rotting porches of the South to the blood-stained cabins of the North... We call them the Summer Nightmares.

"a novel written as a series of letters between the fictional characters of a narrative. The term is often extended to cover novels that intersperse other kinds of fictional document with the letters, most commonly diary entries and newspaper clippings, and sometimes considered to include novels composed of documents even if they do not include letters at all. More recently, epistolaries may include electronic documents such as recordings and radio, blog posts, and emails."

Pre-, early and post- apocalyptic dystopias

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

Epistolary for the internet age. Told through interviews, news clips, podcasts, and transcripts.

A highly unscientific list of Fantasy and Sci-fi books where the audiobook leveled up the reading experience. I’ve either listened to them or they’ve come highly recommended. Input always welcome!

This list features books with nontraditional forms, structures, and narratives.

Feel free to recommend more! :)

Epistolary delivery: Books told in the form of letters, journals, diaries, texts, logs, etc...

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!!
