The End of the World & After - But Not US-centric!
So much of the post/apocalyptic genre is taken up by US-centric fiction, giving a very specific mindset, and often a very similar type of apocalypse. There's a strong focus on guns, and military. Settings outside the US can therefore provide us with some unusual and interesting stories of survival.
Fictional settings allowed. Some books may cross borders, inc sections in the US. Allowance made for US indigenous authors.
First of a series only.
Zombies outside the US have their own list.

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
