Hook me up with some good post apocalyptic fiction /lit/. Include titles accessible by free pdf, but don't hesitate to include others if they are in fact quality. Appreciate the help.

Thanks

1984 (obviously) - George Orwell
The Road - Cormac McCarthy
Metro 2033 - Dmitry Glukhovsky (not had chance to read the sequels, Metro 2034 and Metro 2035)
I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream - Harlan Ellison
Junji Ito's Uzamaki and Gyo books become disturbingly dystopian meets grotesque body horror.

I second A Canticle for Leibowitz and The Drowned World. Also maybe Alas, Babylon, though it's become a sort of Bible for doomsday preppers.

The "wastelands" anthology.

Wikipedia says its by Stephen King but it's actually a whole collection of varied and deeply thought out stories of post apocalypses.
