The Last of Us is debuting on HBO and if you like your end of humanity tales with a twist of complicated morality, this might be the show for you. Based on Naughty Dog’s original video game for PlayStation, the TV adaptation appears to be a faithful retelling of Ellie and Joel, an unlikely pair, traversing the United States in the face of a fungal pandemic. If you’re amped for the show and don’t mind reliving aspects of the most recent real-life pandemic (or in some cases, just like a good story about an improbable journey), here are some titles to get you ready for The Last of Us.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
The Children of Men by P.D. James
The Last of Us: American Dreams by Neil Druckman and Faith Erin Hicks
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro
The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey
In the Distance by Hernan Diaz
Wanderers by Chuck Wendig
The Last of Us by Gustavo Santaoalla
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
