best books zombie apocalypse image
Q. I'm trying to find some good books that follow the zombie/apocalypse survival theme. Something with and epidemic or not many survivors left, maybe some bad-ass heroes or something like that. Preferably above the teen fiction level, more in the range of an adult.
Answer
You might like these, some new, some old, some late teen, some adult - all post-apocalyptic.
The Shore of Monsters by David J. Nix â 2011. Five generations earlier, a horde of monsters nearly obliterated humanity. All males are dead or ruined by a monster plague; words like 'father' and 'romance' have lost meaning. When teenager Sky joins an expedition to the shore that falls apart, she must survive amongst the monsters that roam the ruins. She gets unexpected help from a very surprising source. Mystery, action, and romance follow!
Blood Red Road (Dustlands Series) by Moira Young â 2012. In a post-apocalyptic future, 18-year-old Sabaâs twin brother is stolen by black-clad riders. When tough-as-nails Saba launches a relentless search to recover him, she must fight for her life in gladiator cages, overcome enemies both creature and human, and learn to trust others for the first time. And try as she might, she canât help but fall for the charming scoundrel Jack, who just may understand her more than she knows.
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan â 2010. Seven generations have passed since the Return, a plague that reanimates dead humans into creatures that feed on the living. Teenager Mary lives inside one of the last enclaves of uninfected, protected by a chain link fence that surrounds her village. When the fence is breached, Mary flees the village with a small band of survivors. Their flight toward an uncertain salvation is both harrowing and revealing, as they try to determine if they are humanityâs last hope.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy â 2006. Harrowing novel that follows a man and his young son through a burned and dying post-war America. With all plants and animals dead, the remaining people struggle for survival through often violent means. The power of the story is in the relationship between the father and son, as they cling to one another in their journey of hope toward the sea. Never again will you take for granted a warm bed or a can of fruit. Soul-shattering book that the reader will remember always.
Eternity Road by Jack McDevitt â 1998. One-thousand years after the fall of civilization, a group journeys for answers.
A Gift Upon the Shore by M.K. Wren â 1990. Two women survive in post-nuclear America.
Luciferâs Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle â 1977. The ultimate comet-strike survival novel.
The Postman by David Brin â 1985. Post nuclear story of a con man who inadvertently inspires hope for survivors. Beautiful story.
Through Darkest America by Neal Barrett Jr. â 1986. A boy makes a journey in post-nuclear America. Unbelievable twist that makes you think.
A Canticle for Liebowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. â 1960. Chronicle of post-nuclear history.
The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham â 1951. Classic - plants take over.
The Death of Grass No Blade of Grass) by John Christopher â 1956. All seed grasses die, including food plants.
Earth Abides by George Stewart â 1949. One of the original plague pandemic stories.
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson â 1954. The original vampire virus novel.
On the Beach by Nevil Shute â 1959. Classic post-nuclear story.
The Tripods by John Christopher â 1967. YA alien invasion, The White Mountains is best
Vault of Ages by Poul Anderson â 1952. Centuries after the fall, a horde of old treasure is unearthed by survivors.
