I have read some of his works. He makes some good points and had great action scenes, but the writing and dialog leaves much to be desired. And what's up with the comma before his last name?

The WOOL series by Hugh Howey was very well-written.

I think you mean :"The Mist".
The Strain (book, not the movie), the sequels are "OK"
The Stand (already mentioned)
BTW: The Biblical book is "Revelation" (of John), NOT "Revelations".

I can recommend Plague Year by Jeff Carlson.
I picked it up at an airport book shop a few years ago. Just looking for a disposable quick read. It's really a very good book. One of those books that kind of "stays with you".
Until today I didn't know it was the first in a series of three. So I'm going to have to check out the other two.

Yep, it's The Mist. I guess I have Adrienne Barbeau on my mind...
Curse you! Now you know what will be in my mind all day..........
The Mist!

Last year I downloaded these books for reading during my vacation and found them to be in the main scary plausible. Bracken posits that the Federal government tries to confiscate all semi auto firearms and finding that hard to do, performs several false flag operations to give widespread support to their efforts. things go south from there with a corrupt president that wants to give the SW US back to Mexico, economic chaos, ect.
I enjoyed them. The lesson is really about forming a community as one person in a SHTF time does not have the ability to survive.

Matt Bracken's "Enemies" trilogy has been mentioned already; it's awesome! His "Castigo Bay" is good too.
