Ariana Fae (arianafae) I'm enjoying post apocalyptic novels, which is a new genre for me read in. I wanted to ask the readers here what they consider are the top 10 post apocalyptic novels with great world building in it.

Ariana Fae (arianafae) Oooh Ain't No Grave and The Going Home series sound awesome. Thank you so much for telling me about those books, Carolyn.

Carolyn McBride (carolynmcbride) | 5 comments You're welcome. The Going Home series has been read here by almost everyone in the house multiple times and I've already read Ain't No Grave twice, and found things on the second reading I missed the first time.

Rick Tippins | 6 comments A World Slowed: The Jared Chronicles

I'm a little bias toward A World Slowed, but having said that it is different from Going Home which is top notch in my opinion. Also G. Michael Hopf wrote a series called The End. Others that come to mind are One Second After, Wool, The Road if you want to be depressed and if you have to have a zombie component here are a few more. John O'brien writes a series called A New World. Book one is called Chaos, I'm pretty sure. Wasn't sold at first on this series, but ended up really enjoying John's work. Note...I am not a big zombie fan and you will not find zombies in A World Slowed. What you will find is a Silicone Valley computer engineer with nearly zero survival skills trying to make it after all things electronic cease to work. Happy reading folks.
