The Tide of Ashes

Apocalypse Novels, Preferably With Zombies. Male Lead Isn't a Goody-Two-Shoes, and He's a Lone Wolf

A team is fine, but no building a faction of their own. Please, I'm begging you!!! Lone wolf, lone wolf, lone wolf! Please don't recommend stories where the protagonist builds a settlement, saves a bunch of people, or saves the world!

Apocalypse Stories, There Are No More Masterpieces

Apocalypse Novels I Can Actually Keep Reading Right Now

No saintly pushover, no dumb characters.

Anyone Have Doomsday Novels to Share? Not Ones with Female Protagonists

If there are any apocalypse novels, could we discuss those?

Regular Zombie Apocalypse Novels

I need a straightforward zombie-apocalypse novel: no overpowered protagonist, no ridiculous premises, just good details, a good plot, and solid logic.

Help, I'm Hard to Make Cry. No Book Has Managed to Move Me

I've read all the supposedly tearjerking books people recommended, like No One Saved Him from the Deep Sea and She Came Back When the Sky Was Light, but they didn't affect me at all. Please recommend something even sadder.
