![]() | The Road (Movie Tie-in Edition 2009) (Vintage International) by Cormac McCarthy
Buy used from: $0.01 A book so chilling I both couldn't put it down and wanted to throw up in my mouth. The movie is also great, possibly just as chilling as the book. But, as always, as an English teacher I must encourage you to read before you watch.

![]() | Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.40 Read this for the first time two years ago. My students thought it was a little slow, but I think the suspense is very well done.

![]() | World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
Buy new: $9.44 / Used from: $5.37 One of my very favorites. Funny and honest and chilling at the same time. The apocalypse imagined as only the son of the legendary Mel Brooks could.
Also check out the audiobook. It's abridged, but still fabulous. Each interview is performed by a different actor. My husband whined about having to listen to it and then wouldn't let me turn it off.

![]() | The Mist
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.80 AWESOME ending. I love this director. Very original ideas here. Shot very well. I hear the black and white version is even better.

![]() | The Dead and the Gone (The Last Survivors, Book 2) by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.48 The other books in this series are also really wonderful, but this one is by far my favorite. Although they are written for teens, they can be quite morbid, bleak and honest. Possibly one of the most realistic looks at what would really happen.

![]() | The Walking Dead: Compendium One by Robert Kirkman
Buy new: $35.60 / Used from: $30.00 This series is soooo awesome. I'm rereading what's been written so far and it's just...awesome. They're making a tv show of it soon.

Buy new: $10.73 / Used from: $1.58 Great movie, really touches all the bases as far as post apocalyptic fiction goes.

![]() | Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series (with Collectible Cylon) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $268.79 / Used from: $139.96 Okay, so it isn't the end of earth, but it is the end of the human race. I'm going to count it.
This show has a few lukewarm episodes, but for the most part it continually kicks butt every season. A lot of the survival and post apocalyptic elements are present. A great watch.

![]() | The Book of Eli [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.29 Awesome movie. Denzel Washington is the man. You don't see many things that show the world 30 years after. This is one of them.

![]() | Life After People: The Series--The Complete Season One
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $19.84 Really great research for anyone writing post apocalyptic fiction.
