I haven't read too many of these, obviously the Stand by Stephen King when I was still at school, which I thought was pretty damn good (I was only 15 though) and I've also read Wrath of God by Robert Gleason which got some rave reviews but I thought was pretty average, but in the last couple of weeks I've had the chance to read Swan Song by Robert McCammon which blew me away. It was written in 1987 and the premise is a bit dated but the book itself is awesome - not many books that will have you reading up at 4:30 am when you have to get up at 7:30. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] Definitely worth checking out for anyone who's into the genre, or even anyone who just wants a good read. Very gritty, very brutally realistic, animalistic even, but also very beautiful and touching. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Anyway, wanted to hear if there were any good books of this post-holocaust/end of the world genre that you'd like to share with us - I'd love to start getting more into it.
