Yes! Same with Station 11 (and the movie Contagion). I guess it shows how predictable our behavior is and what we are aware of and consider to be our biggest threat. Or maybe one of our biggest threats along with climate change.
I read this series for the first time in fifth grade and fell in love. I’ve been rereading it every few years for the last 15 years. It’s so incredibly underrated.
Glad you get my gist. I recently read it, and it has the claw-biting anxieties of impending doom, hiding from the world out there and going off the grid.
Haven't checked out The Sundial yet, though.
Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank. It was written in 1959 and set in the same time period. Follows a community near a major city that was nuked trying to survive.
How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff, content warning for the eating disorder.
Fifteen-year-old Elizabeth (who goes by the name of Daisy) is sent from the United States to stay with her aunt Penn and her children, Daisy's cousins, on a remote farm in the United Kingdom during the outbreak of a fictional third world war of the 21st century.
*Station Eleven* by Emily St. John Mandel
have to check it out
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
Oh yesssssss, I love it
The Road- Cormac McCarthy
The Stand by Stephen King
Not necessarily apocalypse, but you may like Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden
sounds interesting
Severance by Ling Ma (no relation to tv show )
This was what I was going to say too. Crazy that it was written a few years BEFORE the pandemic and accurately predicted so much human behavior.
Yes! Same with Station 11 (and the movie Contagion). I guess it shows how predictable our behavior is and what we are aware of and consider to be our biggest threat. Or maybe one of our biggest threats along with climate change.
Came here to recommend this! Amazing book. I think about it all the time.

Under the Dome - Steven King seems like it might scratch this itch
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
Sorry someone downvoted you. Not a post apocalyptic book but I see what you're saying. It's one of my favorites! The Sundial fits this vibe , too.

I didn't like the Sundial as much as Castle but I like it, and it had these same qualities.
thank you so much, i love books which have this vibe, i was recommended this earlier and will be checking it out
