I just finished reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy, who also wrote No Country For Old Men. It's no doubt the bleakest and sparest post-apocolyptic story I've ever read. While the father and son who are at the center of the book run into some nasty characters, they're just desparate, hopless people and there's no zombies or vampires or mutants or aliens or any other supernatural elements.
I imagine the hollywood adaptation will add lots of flame breathing mutants and a love story.
