I recently finished The Road as well. It was very good. I am interested in seeing the responses you get.

The Stand by Stephen King scared the crap out of me when I was younger. I still consider it to be Stephen King’s best work.

Year Zero by Jeff Long was a fun read.

Well, you can always watch a Kevin Costner movie, but I prefer The Road Warrior.

I still think about “Captain Trips” whenever there’s a flu epidemic.

“The Postman” - the novel, not the movie, is good post-apocalyptic.
“Eternity Road” is set hundreds of years after an apocalyptic war and was fairly interesting.
“Day of the Triffids” - absolutely classic, I highly recommend.

I’ve gone blank on the author’s name but along those lines, “The Last Ship”. Author’s notes give a nod to “On The Beach” so if you like that I suspect you’d like this as well.

"The Stand" was Stephen King's best work in my opinion as well. It was one of his early novels before he became famous and his publisher felt it was too long and cut about 200 pages out of it. It has since been released in its full unabridged version and it's worth getting. A good book to bring to the beach.
My favorite character was "Trashcan Man."

I have long since lost my copy of The Stand. I should definitely get a new copy. I feel really old these days. I just finished Stephen King’s son’s (Joe Hill) book “Heart Shaped Box”. It was a good read, and I found it reminiscent of the Stephen King I used to know and really enjoy. But I kept thinking that he just wasn’t old enough to have a son that was old enough to write a novel. Then, when I was looking on Amazon for The Stand, I saw that it was published in ‘78. Good gravy.

It is SO funny to stumble across these old threads and go “But you missed...”
No Blade of Grass
The White Plague (!!!)
The Midwich Cuckoos
Weirdest post-apocalyptic movie I have EVER seen: The World, the Flesh, and the Devil starring the Banana-Boat man himself, Harry Belafonte
If you’re still out there MM, I really mean the !!! on the White Plague

The book was pretty good. The movies got sillier over time, but they were quite a franchise in their day.
