Line 128:
* ''[[Swan Song (novel)|Swan Song]]'' by Robert R. McCammon, which is hardly surprising as it deals with the aftermath of a nuclear war.
* ''[[Lucifer's Hammer]]'' by [[Jerry Pournelle]] and [[Larry Niven]] is full of this.
* [[H. G. Wells|H. G. Wells]]' works ''[[The Time Machine]]'' and ''[[The War of the Worlds (novel)|The War of the Worlds]]'' do this. The first does this with Earth at the end of the planet, and the second does this with a barren, Red Weed-stricken London.
* In the short story "Ananke" from [[Stanislaw Lem]]'s ''[[Tales of Pirx the Pilot]]'', {{spoiler|a long time is spent describing the wreck of a huge (as in, 100000 tons heavy) crashed rocket.}}
* The Zone from ''[[Roadside Picnic]]'' is a town that got turned into a disaster area by an alien visitation. It's described as looking completely normal, if deserted, at first glance, yet having many subtle unsettling details - non-decaying trucks, shadows that point in the wrong direction. It's riddled with invisible death traps and physics-defying artifacts.
