Malevil (Robert Merle), a post-nuclear holocaust story set in France (written in French, but a good translation), is a naturalistic and very un-science-fictiony approach. Terrific read.

I think John Varley’s excellent “Millennium” would qualify.

I second the motion on Denis Johnson’s “Fiskadoro,” a wonderful book that’s not mentioned much.

“Farnham’s Freehold,” Robert Heinlein. In that vein, we might include “Orphans of the Sky” by Heinlein, about a colonizing spaceship that’s gone adrift, and its inhabitant have forgotten not only Earth but the very idea that anything exists outside the Ship.

My own trilogy,VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE, “The drying up of the world’s oil resources leads to the fabled End of Days. Technology stagnates and communities grow ever more insular. With communication between cities lost and attention turned inward, the vampires rise from the shadows where they have survived for centuries and sweep across the globe.”

http://www.vampireapocalypse.com – The books have been optioned for film and a graphic novel.

My new novel ‘Bringing Forth the End of Days’ Is a new apocalyptic thriller set in the aftermath of a nuclear war. It has been described by many as being very original and unique. Check out my website for full reviews http://www.Bringingforththeendofdays.webs.com

My own favourites in this genre are ‘The death of Grass’ By John Christopher, and ‘The Stand’ By Stephen King.

Lucifers Hammer was an excellent read that must be on the list. Also, the Autumn zombie series by Moody. Patriots was a good book I recently picked up. This is by far my favorite genre.

As yet, I have not found any to match:- The Death of Grass and A Wrinkle in the Skin, both by John Christopher. I have only just discovered the above list, maybe I’ll change my mind.
