horrific villains in fiction

The Great American Novel
This is the list from The Atlantic. "In 1868, a little-known writer by the name of John William DeForest proposed a new type of literature, a collective artistic project for a nation just emerging from an existential conflict: a work of fiction that accomplished โthe task of painting the American soul.โ It would be called the Great American Novel, and no one had written it yet, DeForest admitted. Maybe soon."

Found Family at the End of the World (And After)
Apocalyptic reads with a big focus on found family. This list meshes all kinds of apocalypses, zombies included.
Recommendations extremely welcome - gimme alllll the found families surviving together! ๐
First of a series only, except in cases where it's further into the series that the found family element really kicks in.
My favourites are the top half of the list, if you want a place to start ;) (There's a few at the very bottom that I haven't yet read myself, so no shade to them!!)
