The End of the World & After - But Not US-centric!
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!

Aaaaah yes so many are military-centric bc they are meant to boost recruitment đđđ
That is one of the most depressing things I've ever read, especially because it seems 100% correct! đ
ooh, I love this so much! đ
Yay! Happy to hear it! I just read two of these back to back and it's just so nice to get outta the fictional US!
There's a few other niche apocalypse lists on my profile, if you like this kinda thing! âĄ
Your lists are so specific and unique. Absolutely love themđđ
Ohhhh thank you! That means so much to me! đ„č
ohhh yes! i don't remember if it's specifically post-apocalyptic or just dystopian YA, but the slated trilogy by teri terry is set in england if it counts !!

From memory of reading it, I think it's more dystopian... But I'll add it to my shelf to check out later! May well do a dystopian list at some point, anyway, lol! Thanks!!
I have a list of over 100 apoc and zombie apoc books to go through now. But just hit a roadblock of, oh, you can't re-order the list once you add books! đ
np, and yeah from my vague recollection from reading it like a decade ago i had a hunch but wasn't sure lmao. honestly the not being able to reorder lists is so annoying i feel that đ
eta sorry idk why pb didn't add this as a reply, app moment ig đ
Yeah, I'll make a suggestion at some point, though I wouldn't be surprised if it's something they want to do and just haven't prioritised yet.
Nw... Happened to me just a few mins ago on some thread or other lol
thank you for making this :)
Oh you're so welcome! They're the outcome of my wee special interest lol! Always happy when they find the right people! âĄâĄâĄ
