@StephenKing Hello, Mr. King! I don't use Twitter much anymore, but I wanted to say "Thank you!" for all the enjoyment you've provided over the years and to show you my new tattoo. It honors both my favorite author and my favorite book.

It doesn't happen very often, so I love it when I come across a classic post-apocalyptic novel I've never heard of before. This one is the basis of the 1975 TV show The Changes on BBC.

Been playing FarmRPG for a while. Not strictly post-apocalyptic but definitely has a "rebuilding civilization" feel to it. Farming, exploring, cooking, skills, trading and more with an active community. My referral code is 25CDB if you decide to try it. farmrpg.com

Just finished a rewatch of the Logan's Run tv series from 1977. Of the 14 episodes, only two, Man Out of Time and Crypt, are good, and the rest are forgettable or downright bad. But it's post-apocalyptic so I still enjoy it enough to get through it. imdb.com/title/tt0075527/

Hah, this looks awesome. Props to @epykbeard for turning me on to it. youtube.com/watch?v=fo0obxZO…

@StephenKing Did the Project Blue folks die of the virus, or was there some kind of a site-wide failsafe (e.g. gas) that activated when the release was detected?

Does anyone recognize the image on the cover of Nuclear Holocausts: Atomic War in Fiction, 1895-1984? My first thought is Armageddon 2149 AD (the original Buck Rogers novel). Any other guesses before I look it up?

Prof. Paul Brians' Nuclear Holocausts: Atomic War in Fiction is an exhaustive list of pre-1980s nuclear war fiction. It can be read online, but I was finally able to pick up a copy of the original printed book. brians.wsu.edu/2016/11/16/nu…

Picked up another "had never heard of it" book of classic post-apocalyptic fiction. The Offshore Island, a television play written by Marghanita Laski in 1959 about a family in the UK after a nuclear war. Unfortunately, the televised episode aired on BBC is thought to be lost.

The Apocalist on PostApocalypticMedia.com is nearing 50 members. Fans of the genre can browse the list to find something new to enjoy, and content creators are welcome to add a listing for themselves. Check it out at PostApocalypticMedia.com/Apo…

I'm at least passingly familiar with most nuclear war fiction novels intended for adults, but even after all these years I'm still discovering "young adult" post-nuke stories that I had never heard of. The latest is After the Bomb and its sequel by Gloria Miklowitz.

@Atomic_Hobo If you're not already familiar with it, I recommend the Playhouse 90 episode Forbidden Area from 1956. Live teleplay of Pat Frank's novel of the same name, starring Charlton Heston and Vincent Price. youtube.com/watch?v=vjQ4DDhR…

@AppleTV Was #Finch eating peaches a deliberate nod to the well established trope of peaches in post-apocalyptic stories?

How do you know you're watching a post-apocalyptic movie? When the peaches show up... #Finch #AppleTV+

Here's another read/watch combo I'm looking forward to. World War III mini-series on NBC from 1982 starring Rock Hudson as the President, and the novelization by Brian Harris.

Check out episode 42 of the PostApocalypticMedia.com podcast where I joined Shawn to discuss the current postapoc news. We also spent a while discussing the premier of Y: The Last Man. youtube.com/watch?v=kvLFApPS…

Retro Review - The Passage – By Justin Cronin The good name of vampires as supernatural entities to be feared has been sullied in recent years, but The Passage, and its two sequels, serve to turn back that tide a bit. defcon1.net/the-passage-by-j…

Really stoked about this one. Finally managed to track down English subtitles for The Final War from 1960. The Japanese film is one of the earliest, if not the first to depict the destruction of a nuclear attack. youtube.com/watch?v=iWUrpsAt…

Fired up on old favorite tonight. A Fire in the Sky is a made for TV movie from 1978 about an impending comet strike on the city of Phoenix. Had never noticed that it features Michael Biehn in one of his earliest roles. youtube.com/watch?v=9AnSzvkj…

Great review of the classic A Canticle for Leibowitz on Tor.com. tor.com/2021/08/18/in-servic…
