top five apocalyptic novels

The perfect list for a week of papers and finals.

No way to order this. It’s hard enough to limit it to five.

The Road – Cormac McCarthy

The Stand – Stephen King

A Canticle for Liebowitz – Walter M. Miller

Oryx and Crake – Margaret Atwood

Children of Men – P.D. James

Honorable mention (sorry I couldn’t resist)
World War Z, The Forge of God, Lucifer’s Hammer, Alas, Babylon
