Welcome to the end of the world — population: surprisingly a lot of people. Post-Apocalyptic fiction drops you into civilisation *after* the collapse, whether it's been nuked, plagued, flooded, or just plain forgotten. Think crumbling cities, scrappy survivors, and societies rebuilding (or tearing each other apart) from the ruins. These stories aren't really about the disaster — they're about what humans do next. The best of us? The worst of us? Usually both. If you've ever wondered how you'd survive when the supermarkets are empty and the Wi-Fi is gone, this is your genre. Buckle up — the apocalypse is only the beginning.
