Courtesy of the Los Angeles Public Library, I came across Neil Shusterman’s Skinjacker Trilogy. The first two books (Everlost and Everwild) are quite good. The third book, Everfound, hasn’t been released yet – it is out in June 2011. While they are not post-apocalyptic stories, they remind me of John Christopher’s novels – aimed at teenagers, but they don’t talk down to them and are enjoyable for adults to read as well.
Quick summary – a couple of dead children find themselves in a limbo (the Everlost) between life and death. A lot of adventures occur while exploring the nature of the Everlost, themselves and looking for a way out. Kind of a "coming-of-age" series about dead kids.
P.S. Apparently Everlost is being made into a movie by Universal Pictures.
