Reddit mentions of Hood: A Post-Apocalyptic Novel (American Rebirth Series Book 1)

I wrote an Amazon Bestseller post-apoc novel called HOOD that was very strongly influenced by TLOU. The whole tone, mood and depiction of the post-apoc world is basically the same. One of the reasons TLOU is so inspirational to me is because my vision for my book (I was about half done with TLOU came out) lined up so strongly with TLOU's style, and the success and critical acclaim TLOU had only strengthened my resolve with HOOD. Secondary influences would be I Am Legend (the book) and The Road.

I actually put up a post on this subreddit 5 or so months ago when the book first came out. Now I'm a full time author and I'm 40% done with the second book. It's been kind of a whirlwind.

My non-shameless-plug recommendation would be I Am Legend
