"Reminds me that disasters can be positive. Reminds me to accept whatever happens and to make it my friend. Grounded in disaster, it leads to the comfort and understanding that we — and only we — can bring to ourselves. Reminds me that we all have broken hearts."

This is a great story that throws a disaster of almost Lovecraftian proportions onto a small town. If the antagonists aren't terrifying enough, seeing the social ecosystems of the survivors form and shift will make me think twice about which supermarkets I go into and which I avoid.

A disturbing, distressing look at ecological disaster.
This is such a good book, but also deeply disturbing. Set during an environmental disaster, initially set in London, then Scotland in a refugee camp.
The way it's written reflects the shock and despair of the main character - sparse and disjointed. Time moves in a strange way (which will be interesting to see how this will be handled if it makes it to the big screen).
This is well worth a read, but make sure you're mentally in a good place first! The whole book made me feel uncomfortable, and there is no happy ending. Call me odd, but that's the kind of book that I really enjoy!

Spectacularly bad on the disaster movies front
Why is it that the Hollywood sign is the first to go in disaster films, and why is Hollywood always trying to kill everyone off?

If it isn't a solar flare, tectonic plate/crust shifts or the reversal of Gulf streams, it's the San Andreas fault opening up creating huge earthquakes.

This film unfortunately rates rather low on the apocalyptic films front. The story is lacking, the Rock is awful - just a big American knucklehead saving the day - and the dialogue consists of a word per scene. The CGI was disappointing, even the 1990s film Deep Impact had better graphics. And Kylie Minogue doesn't even make it. It can't get any worse.
