Come explore the bleak and desolate future with these Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic tales.

Instead of making separate lists, I'll note the cause of Apocalypse in the notes (unless it's meant to be a surprise). This way, you can find the book that best suits your tastes.

Books with similar causes are grouped. Series are placed at the end. Contributions and corrections are greatly appreciated!

List was compiled using Wikipedia, Quiet Earth, Empty World, and Post-Apocalyptic Media.
