But it only has a few muted fantasy elements. <br> <br>The Stand and The Dark Tower are Stephen King's best fantasy works, and both are post-apoc. <br> <br>Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun series isn't post-apoc but I'd say there are similarities. I love his writing, but some people complain that the series is too "literary." It certainly isn't an easy read. <br> <br>Black Company by Glen Cook is awesome if you like pulp fantasy. Not exactly post-apoc, but parts are comparable to living through a apocalypse. Very powerful and personal descriptions of outright destruction. <br> <br>The Nightside books have chapters which take place in a post-apocalyptic future. Also very pulpy; but where Black Company is gritty sword & sorcery, Nightside is surreal private-eye noir. <br> <br>I think the second Thomas Convenant trilogy might count as post-apoc. But reading it made me want to kill myself or the author. The first trilogy is good; or at least, you'll know if you like or hate it pretty quickly.
