Something like ‘the uninhabitable earth’
Please and thank you.
Looking for something to haunt me
Harry Potter And The Curse of The Deathly Goblet

clearly you aren't as gifted a reader as me if you hate Harry Potter! The best book ever written right next time 1984 and every Stephan King novel

I’ve heard Desert is pretty hauntingly doomer, although it’s not really about the US.
I haven’t read it so I don’t really know.
There was this an old show called “Life after People” on the History Channel when it stopped being the History Channel. Basically, it explores what would happen to Earth if people suddenly disappeared. It most likely won’t scare you because it’s showing how the Earth will heal and move on without us. Loved that shit as a kid lol.
Edit: sorry just realized you were looking for a book.
Parable of the Sower is such a prescient prediction of what a collapsing america dealing with climate change is like it might as well by nonfiction
Just read all the predictions from the past 30 years about how China is days away from imploding, then just change all the names and references to the US.
The Dog Stars. It imagines America after a plague killed almost everyone. Two men survive in uneasy companionship, holding down their farm against the occasional survivors / raiders. Although it doesn't attempt to be a photo realistic depiction of the collapse, it's an excellent character drama that shows a realistic portrait of how much it would suck to survive
Ok I know this is literally the opposite of what you asked for, but read ministry for the future by Kim Stanley Robinson after you're done with the doomer book. I haven't finished it yet but from what I hear it's a fairly hopeful book about climate change
