The idea behind this blog is to share my opinions about Post-Apocalyptic Literature, Films and Ephemera as well as my random nattering on a regular basis.

My Apocalyptic Library

Updated 9.11.11

Some of these are dystopian. I also included some books from the zombie and vampire canons and some from the ‘machine turning against man’ genre too. I do not include any dystopian novels in the ‘read’ section of the library. Some in the not read are dystopian. I left them in there because I need to find the cause of the ‘anti-utopia’. It all depends on the cause. If the cause was a world ending event it goes in the read list and if it is just a simple ‘society in which conditions of life are miserable and characterized by poverty, oppression, war, violence, disease, pollution, and/or the abridgment of human rights, resulting in widespread unhappiness, suffering, and other kinds of pain’ well then it’s not PA and will be dealt with as such.

My library (books, comics, movies, music and artwork) had been woefully out of date. Updating took me longer than I expected. But after all it had been a couple years since I updated so I wasn’t surprised.

Also I didn't get these overnight. This is ... well I guess a labor of love. My library started out from a very small and humble beginning. I only had The Stand by Stephen King, Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon, Fire by Alan Rodgers and The Dying by Leslie Horvitz. Then I discovered the interwebs and began collecting in earnest.

This list represents about 8 years of book store combing and looking at different websites. This search on eBay has been good for finding books I hadn't heard of before. Scifan has an After the Apocalypse - Post-holocaust - Apocalypse theme, an End of the World/End of Man theme as well as The Last Man theme. Very helpful.

At first I used Emptyworld to find books but soon my library was far more vast than the one there. The bulk of these books were from little used book stores in different towns. I absolutely cannot pass up a used book store and will stop at each and look around a bit. Lately it seems I have run out of books to find. A good thing too because I am running out of room to keep them. I find the best results for finding new PA books come from Paperbackswap.com. I have to wait but the books are free and I have plenty to read.

Great Blog - I love this genre when I was a kid, and recently started re-reading many of these old books, and new ones.

If you don't mind at all, I have placed a link to your Blog on my Blog. Take care.

I thought I had a good PA library, but yours is roughly twenty times its size!

Want a couple more for the list? (Most modern Brit stuff or 1950's SF)

----


Melvin Burgess - Bloodtide / Bloodsong (retelling of Viking myth in PA London)

A. Bertram Chandler - The Hamelin Plague (Rats!)

Lord Dunsany - Pleasures of a Futurescope (Nukes)

Harlan Ellison - Vic & Blood (er, nukes, I think... really good, if very disturbing)

Richard Foster - The Rest Must Die (nukes again, survivors trapped under NYC)

Charlie Higson - The Enemy (virus makes adults into evil zombie monsters)

Joe Lansdale - The Drive-in (and sequels) (alien star wipes out/mutates humanity, cue weirdness)

Paul MacTyre - Doomsday, 1999 (the Chinese Empire has fallen in Scotland) (not a joke)

Oisin McGann - Small-Minded Giants (brilliant YA PA, humanity trapped in domes after climate failure)

J.T. McIntosh - One in 300 (starts with the planning & execution of the exodus from earth, but second half of book is pretty worthless)

Tim Powers - Dinner at Deviant's Palace (brilliant PA road trip)

VictoriaAustralia said...

six more that are not in the read section, one that is in the "to be read section"

Coney, Michael - Winters Children.1974 Earth has turned on its axis. Snow covers England 30feet deep. Surviviors mine the frozen village below. Does get a bit naff with telepathy to snow moles at the end.

Priest, Christopher - Fugue For a Darkening Island. 1978 African refugees fleeing nuclear war in Africa invade and ravage England. Good read - short at 125 pages.

Williams, Roger - Aftermath. 1982 Disparate survivors across England after a several nuclear detonations. Survivors scrabbling in ruins of London.

Hegland, Jean - Into The Forest.1996 Excellent contempary story of sisters surviving in economically collapsed America. very good.

Christopher, John. The World in Winter. 1962. A new ice age covers Europe. Most of England retreats to Africa where they struggle as displaced refugees. Great book, bit English middle class of course.

Ing, Dean - Pulling Through. 1983. Fanciful post-nuke strike on San Francisco. Protagnist has a hover car and pet Cheetah! Good fun however and last 1/3 of book is non-fiction survival guide - making a Kearny Fallout Meter, air filter etc.

Thanks for your suggestions for books I do not have - hope these are of interest for you.

What an enormous list! o.o I've been looking for a book I read when I was in middle or high school and I can't remember the title. -_-' Here is another person who's also looking for it's description of it:

"hi again ive remembered another book, its really bugging me cos i cant remember the name . Cant find it either anyway if anyone knows the book let me know what its called because im annoyed. Lots of people scientists, mathematitions etc are kept in cryosleep in shifts after the nuclear war/comet etc . they are in hidden bunker . they wake in shifts to watch over young civilisation and appear to guide as `gods` . some groups use old technology, some are afraid of tech and call it magic evil etc.something bad is coming down with a glacier as the ice caps melt . Basically , post apocolyptic with magic, superstition good and evil .
to jog anyones memory keywords are ; bottles, observatory, demon, old man in wheelchair ,signs on forhead ,gods. "


Because it was sorta post-apocalyptic (or maybe post post apocalyptic) I thought you may have had it on your list somewhere. It's been so long now and I've been second guessing myself on the title and author so much that I'm afraid I am not recognizing them when I read the list.
