The Killing Floor (a novel of The Infection)

1. The Killing Floor (a novel of The Infection) by Craig DiLouie

The list author says:
	"In THE KILLING FLOOR, the sequel to the bestselling zombie novel THE INFECTION, a man survives Infection to learn he's not immune: Infection has turned him into a superweapon that can end the world ... or save it.

2. The Infection by Craig DiLouie

The list author says:
	"Five ordinary people learn the price of survival at the end of the world. Described as 28 DAYS LATER meets THE MIST. David Moody, author of HATER, calls THE INFECTION "not just another zombie story ... Unflinching horror and surreal, almost dream-like imagery combine to make THE INFECTION a disturbing, nightmarish read.""

3. One by Conrad Williams

The list author says:
	"To me, ONE is the perfect post apocalyptic novel, THE ROAD with zombies, the characters and post-apocalyptic world so richly drawn you can almost taste the ash while you read it. I particularly appreciated the realism that made this world come alive."

The Passage: A Novel

4. The Passage: A Novel by Justin Cronin

The list author says:
	"Okay, this book reads like The Stand with vampires but I don't care as it works very well, and had me turning pages for hours. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic books, this one's a must. It's also a great "door stopper" book for those of you who like long, epic reads."

No Blade of Grass

5. No Blade of Grass by John Christopher

The list author says:
	"Brilliant novel about a plague that kills not people, but plants that sustain our very existence. Amazingly prescient considering the decline of the bees and continuing extinctions threatening the ecological systems that sustain human life."

6. Tooth and Nail by Craig DiLouie

The list author says:
	"This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, not with a whimper, but a slaughter. TOOTH AND NAIL is the story of the soldiers who tried to save it."

7. Hater by David Moody

The list author says:
	"HATER is one of those rare novels that stand out as literature, not mere fiction. In HATER, David Moody plays to our deepest paranoia and fears by imagining a world in which people suddenly become haters and viciously attack non-haters, dividing the world into two warring factions. Contains one of the most cathartic and remarkable twists in apocalyptic fiction."

8. Flood by Stephen Baxter

The list author says:
	"Stephen Baxter is not known for writing apocalyptic fiction but he's very good at it. FLOOD is the story of the slow, gradual rising of the oceans due to massive leaking underwater aquifers, resulting in the elimination of dry land in a story that spans decades. Nobody does it like Baxter."

9. Autumn by David Moody

The list author says:
	"In David Moody's AUTUMN, the shell-shocked survivors of a sudden worldwide plague struggle to overcome their daze and find a way to avoid the living dead that are soon everywhere, attracted to sound, and violent. The result is an entirely different kind of zombie story that is unusually gripping."

The Sheep Look Up

10. The Sheep Look Up by John Brunner

The list author says:
	"John Brunners THE SHEEP LOOKS UP is an environmental apocalypse novel that is depressing in that those dying from the apocalypse don't seem to realize there's even a problem, and those causing it show no interest in stopping it."

Make Room! Make Room!

11. Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison

	"THE ETERNAL FOOTMAN by James Morrow is the concluding novel in a trilogy about a world in which God wills himself to die. In the last book, a plague of death awareness threatens to destroy the human race as people see no point to living if the end brings simple oblivion. Is the answer more gods, or a new religion of Man?"

This Is the Way the World Ends

16. This Is the Way the World Ends by James Morrow

The list author says:
	"THIS IS THE WAY THE WORD ENDS: with a bang. A very big bang, in fact: nuclear war. Be warned: This novel about the absurdity of keeping weapons that can destroy the world is powerful and, ultimately, depressing."

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

17. World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks

On the Third Day

19. On the Third Day by Rhys Thomas

The list author says:
	"Rhys Thomas' ON THE THIRD DAY is a philosophical meditation on death wrapped in a viral apocalypse in which the victims suffer from existential dementia and often become violent, attacking others. I really enjoyed this one; it's not your average end of the world novel"

21. Spore by John Skipp

The list author says:
	"In SPORE by John Skipp and Cody Goodfellow, fungal spores that infect and eventually devour the human brain are spreading across Los Angeles in a designer drug, turning its victims into a fanatical army dedicated solely to spreading its host. Skipp turned me into a diehard fan with his rich voice, engaging characters and paranoid and fresh storytelling."

The Reapers Are the Angels: A Novel

22. The Reapers Are the Angels: A Novel by Alden Bell

The list author says:
	"In THE REAPERS ARE THE ANGELS, Temple helps a mentally retarded man find his home, seeking redemption in the process, while a killer hunts her, seeking revenge. The setting is sometimes oddly unrealistic and the poetic voice at times a little overworked, but it is a beautiful book that questions whether one must choose between survival and morality during the apocalypse."

23. Dust by Joan Frances Turner

The list author says:
	"Normally, reading a novel entirely from the zombie perspective would not be my thing�too hard to connect with, not enough actual horror�but Frances Turner pulls it off beautifully. I loved almost everything about her highly original book, with my only complaint being that I found the ending a bit long and unsatisfying."

What Came After

24. What Came After by Sam Winston

The list author says:
	"WHAT CAME AFTER is an apocalyptic dystopia set in a future America that has suffered an economic collapse resulting from corporations hijacking the government in service of the wealthy. I enjoyed the author's singular voice, and liked the protagonist�a committed father and brilliant engineer who gets through the worst by sheer stubborn will, his wits and some luck."
