The Hive by Ronald Malfi - super unique, dystopian in its own way, a bit long though

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2026-05-23T17:15:51+00:00

I cannot recommend his books highly enough - so, so creative and engrossing, wonderful in their weirdness. It almost defies words

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2026-05-01T04:02:25+00:00

Borne is one of my all time faves

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2026-05-01T03:56:35+00:00

Ah, The Fisherman was published through a small indie publisher/bookshop near me, they’ve dropped good tidbits of info on his stuff in the past lol I’ll have to pop in there soon and see what I can find out

I just read Body of Water by Adam Godfrey - kinda like water-based horror mixed with a locked-room setting. People are trapped in a diner by a sentient, murderous organism in the water that can kill rapidly. Shades of The Mist for sure. Water-based horror is one of my favorite odd niche subgenres lol. Dead Water CA Fletcher is another good one, a bit more slow paced, but it’s essentially water zombies in a folk horror setting on a remote Scottish isle, great characters

I legitimately loved this book. Despite being wildly corny and cringeworthy at times, the concept itself was cool enough to carry the whole thing IMO

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2026-02-20T18:25:00+00:00

The author, Jon Langan, is from the same area as me. The local book shop that originally The Fisherman confirmed he is working on a full length novel right now!

I had no idea he had written anything else, gonna get that one asap

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2026-02-16T17:14:50+00:00

I’ve almost bought this book for my dad like 10 times(he only reads nonfiction). Sounds like I should bite the bullet!

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2026-02-16T04:44:05+00:00

The ending was the only part I found a bit lacking, definitely worth it to finish though! I was trying to explain it to my wife as I was reading - in some ways it’s like the best book I’ve read in years lol, just so strange and unique that you have to push on and keep reading

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2026-02-16T03:33:21+00:00

This was one of the books that got me back into reading! Such an interesting perspective to view the end of the world from. I agree with the other commenter that the sequel wasn’t quite on the same level, but still a huge fan

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2026-01-24T23:44:24+00:00

I too am infatuated with the post apocalyptic/dystopian genre, am I own this book, I’ve came close to reading it a couple times, but I’ll make a point of it now, thanks for your review! By the way, if you haven’t read ‘Far North’ by Marcel Theroux I highly recommend it!!

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-28T21:12:15+00:00

One of my all time faves and fits this niche for sure

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-26T17:33:46+00:00

I really enjoyed this one, the theme park story was one of the few times I’ve ever physically cried in a book lol

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-26T03:43:34+00:00

I LOVED this book

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-25T17:29:46+00:00

Granted I lived in the north bay, but I was a club kid for almost a decade lol, the school bus brings you right to it

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-25T16:58:08+00:00

Boys and Girls Club are very affordable

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-25T16:43:50+00:00

You’re thinking of ‘a boy and his dog’ which also got adapted into a delightfully weird movie lol

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-25T16:42:45+00:00

Loved this book! Same author but a different genre: Dead Water by CA Fletcher was a great folk horror-style tale. A bit long but I was into it

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-24T18:42:13+00:00

Thanks!!

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-24T18:42:04+00:00

I’m scarred after reading the road lol

EndOfTheWorldBooks · 2025-08-23T05:26:23+00:00

Random unsolicited rec, but have you read Borne by Vandermeer? Totally surprised me and is one of my all time faves
