Cover for Tom Perrotta's The Leftovers:

Perrotta's novel takes place after the rapture, in a small New Jersey suburb, where families are trying to get on with their lives. The Garvey family, for instance, didn't lose any family members in the rapture but has fallen apart in the aftermath. The father, Kevin, watches as his teenagers change and his wife, Laurie, leaves his house to join a cult called "The Guilty Remnant," whose members dress all in white and take a vow of silence.

NPR has a story on the book here. (Perrotta also wrote Election.)

Because of the Cats by Nicholas Freeling. It's real:

Chief Inspector Piet Van der Valk of the Amsterdam police has a teenage gang on his hands: they are coming into Amsterdam from out-of-town, and they are remarkably professional. They leave behind a trail of wanton damage, senseless brutality, and rape, and one piece of possible evidence- 'the cats won't like it'. ""Because of the Cats was an international best-seller-indeed its group-murder plot was reenacted in real life shortly after, in Latin America-and Van der Valk acquired a huge following.""

This would be better if it was a book collecting media fear-of-the-day stories. Instead, it sounds like a collection of cliched jokes about how babies are a pain to raise. Via.
