I haven't read it yet, but I understand the book "The Road" is supposed to be pretty good.

Well, yes and no. It was a good read, but was a much more desperate scenario. The whole of the world had pretty much been rendered barren by some disaster. This was also something like 10 years after the event, with no way to farm. So all the people alive , are the ones that raided and ate people.

If the power grid went out, or some similar scenario happened, the biggest threat for people in rural areas would be the hordes of blacks that leave the cities when they've picked them clean. It would probably be a month or so after the event, and I doubt they'd be very organized.

I don't think so. I think the city blacks would all be dead within a week or two of "the event". I don't think they would survive after the power goes off.
