Deserted planet with giant shopping towers for malls and distant crying banshees: I only remember the person was male and everybody else already left. Something about that story stayed with me, I’d love to read it again

  • That's not much to go on. Maybe Alain Dorémieux' short story Seul en haut de la tour bientôt prête à crouler. The narrator is inhabiting a decrepit tower in the desert, but on Earth, maybe in Paris. It is the end (not available on the Internet, I looked). Commented Nov 22, 2020 at 21:22

    Just a wild guess based on a planet where everyone has left, could this possibly be "Dying of the Light" by George R R Martin (pub 1977 so timeframe fits) Commented Nov 22, 2020 at 23:48
