Agree that Ridley Walker is good, though I found it slow going. Loved The Road.

The Children's Hospital by Chris Adrian is about the Apocalypse, complete with angels.

Does Greg Bear's Blood Music count? It's more apocalyptic than post, but at the end you get a taste of thereafteryness.

And is The Children's Hospital any good? I loved the HC packaging (much less the paperback), but had become wary of the McSweeny's imprint at that point.

I'm a bit leery of McSweeny's too, but I think The Children's Hospital is a fantastic book, all zillion pages of it.

It does look groovy. I think I will have to take the plunge.
