The Apocalyptic Book List
Presented by: The Post Apocalyptic Forge
Compiled by: Paul Williams ([email protected])
As with other lists compiled by me, this list contains material that is not strictly apocalyptic or
post apocalyptic, but that may contain elements that have that fresh roasted apocalyptic feel.
Because I have not read every single title here and have relied on other peoples input, you may
on occasion find a title that is not appropriate for the intended genre....please do let me know
and I will remove it, just as if you find a title that needs to be added...that is appreciated as well.
At the end of the main book list you will find lists for select series of books.
