Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake! It's scary as a dystopia because it draws a lot from current trends in science and in society. There is some romance, but it's fractured, and consumed by the genius scientist with a mad vision for the planet. I think I just made it sound like superhero/supervillian, but it really isn't - it's based on research (see Bill McKibben's Enough - nonfiction with same themes) and yet still has that dark mood. Or try The Handmaid's Tale, also by Atwood, though that one is more about the Religious Right in the 80s and totalitarian control over women's bodies.

You should try finding a copy of The City of Ember Series by Jeanne DuPrau.Their are 3 books in the whole seres and it is a real mystery-the 1st book gives you a total cliffhanger ending.

Do you like old classics? They are definitely god in a sense - all of them are classics today since they traveled across all the time till yesterday.

If so then you have a great resource in the Internet:

If you don't have anything against reading about talking animals, try Brian Jacques's Novels of Redwall (Redwall, Mossflower, Mattimeo, Martin the Warrior...there's probably about twenty of them, but they don't have to be read in order. They kinda skip around to different stories.)
