The end appears to be nigh in these two sparkling debut novels. Claire Fuller’s Our Endless Numbered Days is about a girl whose survivalist father takes her to a forest shack to save her from the end of the world. Edinburgh-based Nick Holdstock’s ambitious The Casualties recounts the final weeks of an eccentric cast of characters before the apocalypse arrives.
