I've been wanting to get more into reading again with the end of the year coming close, I'm mostly into post-apocalyptic genres 😅 I love the "Metro" series by Dmitry Glukhovsky, any similar recommendations?

The metro series is great. I recently read Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank. It's a post-nuclear apocalyptic fiction.
Added it to my read list thank you! It does sound very interested and it's reviewed highly
1/ The novel Roadside Picnic is a must, it's technically not post-apo but all the vibes are right — and it directly inspired Metro. McCarthy's Road is another modern classic of the genre, dark, brutal and fascinating. As of older titles, go for Canticle for Leibowitz if you don't
Thank you for the suggestions! I've just finished Roadside Picnic, I know this is the book that inspired the Metro series but I found it a little confusing with the world building, great book none the less! McCarthy's Road is fantastic also, one of my favourites without a doubt
I'll check out the British movie thread also thank you! Definitely always up for new suggestions, gets quite difficult to source similar genres when you're pushed with the more mainstream stuff constantly
!LOL
!PIZZA
2/ mind unironic religious themes in your post-apo books. Also, the British movie Threads is an absolute must but you need a strong stomach to watch it — some scenes are really graphic and shocking.
