Bormashenko is the one that I read and it is approved by the surviving author.
Be warned though the Story is set in Canada. . .

If you're looking for the Stalker thing there is the first book of the Southern Reach trilogy. I didn't read the other two because the second was awful. It's a somewhat interesting setting, about as pleb as Metro.

Also The Slynx and A Canticle for Leibowitz. Can't actually speak for On the Silver Globe but it's on my reading list and seems relevant. Also Hard to be a God.

VanderMeer's Annihilation trilogy has a similar atmosphere

Gateway by Frederik Pohl shares some of the same tone and subject matter as Roadside Picnic. Here, 'prospectors' from Earth arrive on an abandoned spacesport built by ancient aliens astronauts, and take their chances with pre-plotted ships,which they barely know how to operate, in order to obtain relics/detritus for money. Most people die.

This is a good chart for an initial reference, worth posting over in the SFFG thread if it hasn't been done already.


It's worth reading Strugatsky's Hard To Be A God As well. The Bormashenko translations are the latest, and are good for the most part.
