10 Scary Books Like The Last of Us: Post-Apocalyptic Fiction Must-Reads

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson

The Road is an oppressive but enriching book. The film did beautifully too

Taking every recommendation here very seriously as someone who also prefers dogs to people 😌 Many thanks.

Great video making. Great explanation skills brother. Thanks for the video

Thank you for those! I think they're all set in America because you chose American/ English speaking writers. Would be really cool to do a video on foreign post-apocalyptic books

The idea of The Postman was stolen from Lucifer's Hammer by Niven and Pournelle.

Tim Powers "Dinner at deviant's palace" must be in this list! Its fun and classic like McCarthy's book

Birdbox was such an awful movie on Netflix, I can't do it.

The Dog Stars is one of my all time favorite books of any genre

hahaha you are so funny. You deserve soooo many more subscribers. I am currently working my way through all of Kings work.

The Night Parade by R.Mafi

I’ve recently tried my hand at writing a post apocalyptic book because even though I love the genre I felt it’s all become sort of stale and wanted to a try a fresh spin on the zombie narrative. I would love to hear your thoughts about it if you have the time, though it’s probably not that good since it’s my first book.

It’s called Deadeyes by JoVontae T.M. James

I'm gonna give it a try to "Station 11" :)

Recently subscribed due to your dark tower journey, which I’m thoroughly enjoying and can’t wait for more. Must say I expected World War Z in this list. But well done loving your content.

Highly recommended Robert Mccammon’s…Swan Song

I have the road on my shelf and you have me all the more excited to read it now. I tried something else by emily st mandel and it was meh. I will give her a second chance with station eleven because it sounds like I started in the wrong place. Loved bird box and it was such a good book. Beats the film by far. And so creepy. I have the girl with all the gifts and need to get to it. Parable of the sower is great and octavia e butler >>> Ooh will need to read the book of m as well

Great choices on here like The Road The Girl with all the Gifts and The Stand as well as a few I hadn’t come across but will definitely check out now.

Not sure if they qualify but my list would include I Am Legend by Richard Mathewson and World War Z by Max Brooks

I’ve been absolutely loving this series so this is such a cool video, thanks so much for the recommendations 👏🏼✨

I've only read Station Eleven and The Passage trilogy from your list. I enjoyed both. I lol when you said I love dogs and I maybe love them more than people and that makes me unique🤣🤣🤣 Everything happens in America😂😂 Again. I've added quite a few unto my TBR. Love this video. Keep them coming.

About all these American apocalypses: look, you lot already had John Christopher. (And seriously, some of those hold up really well, even now.)

More recently there’s Tim Lebbon and his amazing zombie novella series starting with “The Naming of Parts”, among other British apocalypses. And Big Finish’s ongoing The Survivors series is a worthy companion to the original.

Man your passion and character really shines here, you were made for this brother

Awesome video, your enthusiasm is infectious! Sniff...you had me at "I Love Dogs." I think your channel deserves to grow and achieve greatness, you have serious charisma man. I would seriously recommend "Swan Song" by Robert McCammon, the greatest novel of all time.

You give me Simon Pegg vibes. I'm probably not the first one to say so.

‘The end of the World, it’s FANTASTIC!!’ Haha brilliant, couldn’t agree more! 😀
Great video and thank you, I’ve definitely added some books to my DGR (definitely gonna read) list!
I look forward to the next one!

I love your videos!
I have a suggested read for you. You should check out "Swan Song" by Robert R. McCammon. It is a world that is trying to survive after a nuclear apocalypse. It is like The Stand in that there is a battle between Good and Evil.

Great video!
I love how your videos always surprise me in some way. I wasn’t expecting this but damn the video was great!
