Today's topic is another which doesn't fit my books so I'm going to look at the best apocalypse reads (that don't involve zombies) that I read last year! I'm amazed that I only read six that didn't involve zombies. This is another genre that I need to read a lot more of next year as I've neglected it a bit.
A Powerless World trilogy was excellent and all three were five star reads!
Dark Days has been a fun and brutal series and I look forward to the third book if there is one and the zombie duology by Robert Brown was excellent! Ive just started the Last Stand series and enjoyed book one.
Have you read any good apocalypse novels this year? What are your favourite apocalypse scenarios? I admit I love a good EMP disaster!
I guess the closest I would get to an apocalyptic book would be a dystopian, which I also don't read much about. Books like that amp up my anxiety about the future.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be that fear it gives me that gets me going to read these books, which is a bit crazy when you think about it! I find books about EMPs scarier than any horror book!
DeleteWell you know the answer to you r questions....
ReplyDeleteHave you read any good apocalypse novels this year? HELL YEAH! HELL DIVERS! XD
What are your favourite apocalypse scenarios? ALL OF THEM, except maybe Zs which I'll be trying next year :)
EMP disaster are awesome and I have not read enough! I should!
There is just something about EMPs that I can't resist...they scare me crapless but I love reading them! I kind of neglected these reads this year so I do plan to read more of them next year. Hell Divers needs priority as well I think!
DeleteI started the Terry Tyler apocalypse series this year and enjoy reading her vision of a disease-destroyed Britain. I'm just about to pick up the second book in the series. The Smallest Thing by Lisa Manterfield was pretty amazing too!
ReplyDeleteI checked out Terry Tyler and Tipping Point sounds quite interesting so it has been added to wishlist-thanks! The other one sounds a bit too much teen angst and romance for me though!
DeleteA world with no power would be pretty frightening!
ReplyDeleteWhen you think about the effects it would have on life as we know it, it scares me crapless!
DeleteI've been reading some apocalyptic that I would say are more scifi based than horror. I am always up for trying something new to see if it fits.

I'll be reading a fair bit of apocalypse in January to try and weed out the poor books from the gems! Indie apocalypse can be hit and miss!
DeleteDark Days sounds like a good end of days series. I will have to check more into this myself. I will like to read more apocalyptic books. I am going to try to read some different books this coming new year instead of a lot of YA horror/thriller books.

It's a good gritty drama! I look forward to the appearance of a third book at some point to maybe round off the story. I have some apocalypse books set out for January so that should be hair raising fun!
