I’ve recently read and loved:
The Girl with all the Gifts and The Boy on the Bridge
The Oryx and Crake books
The Book of the Unnamed Midwife books
The Parable of the Sower and Talents
Any recommendations as to where to go next? Those are probably ranked in my order of enjoyment. I liked Oryx and Crake a lot but the presence of zombies probably pushed The Girl with all the Gifts to the top.

The Passage trilogy by Justin Cronin is a post-apocalyptic series with vampires instead of zombies. I think you’d like it if you enjoyed The Girl With All the Gifts.
Sea of Rust by C Robert Cargill, post apocalyptic after AI/androids have wiped out the humans
People be snubbing I Am Legend by Richard Matheson? Is it because they think of the movie with Will Smith and as we all know, movies are always great representations of the books? Especially with Will Smith?
Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton. It’s the zombie apocalypse story told by the pets left behind, specifically a domesticated crow named Shit Turd. It is hilarious and heartbreaking and thoughtful and just a great read.
