I have to say that I am not a huge fan of post-apocalyptic books but I was drawn to this as I have read some of Mr Hart’s work before and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

[Wolf and Iron] by [Gordan R. Dickson] tells of survival after a socio-economic collapse. The characters are strongly developed and Jeebee's relationship with wolf drives the story as her learns to survive using his instincts. It follows the format of post apocalyptic stories so it is fairly predictable but the characters and relationships are what really drive the plot.

Upon first glance I assumed it was just another take on the post-apocalyptic world. It's not even close to that. It's full of mystery and romance. I was hooked right away. I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. And the plot twist ending was not one I saw coming at all. Books like this is why I continue to read YA.

It's the blind leading the blind in Netflix's post-partum apocalypse thriller Bird Box (2018) #Review
What if “The Happening” but actually, you know, pretty good? That seems to be the starting point for “Bird Box”, an apocalyptic horror from producer/ star Sandra Bullock and director Susanne Bier, adapted from Josh Malerman’s novel by screenwriter Eric Heisserer (“Arrival”, “Lights Out”)...

Snowpiercer- its post apocalyptic with its survival elements set this movie apart from others. The whole setting on a train and trying to get to the front of the train, its a excellent plot. Each cart is different, each person is differnet with a different view. The survival elements has so many different views in this movie.

I would differenly reccordmend this movie

Collecting 4 parts of a series together in one publication, this narrative is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth where the new species have evolved and survived. The story follows Ana as the hunter-gatherer for her community and using AI guns follows an action-adventure format. A well illustrated and engaging graphic novel it is not always easy to follow, but then life isn't always straight forwards either.

The story begins with a couple and their baby trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world. The father is left injured and in search of someone to care for his baby after he's gone. A deeply emotional story about the lengths a parent will go to to protect their children. Detailing the horrors of not only monsters but the people who are just as bad, if not worse.

2010 | Drama, Horror
One of the best shows on TV in recent years
An apocalyptic drama that finally ticks all the right boxes. The 'zombies' (walkers, lamebrains, whatever you want to call them) are realistically frightening (not either dragging their heels or moving at super-human speed), already achieving what so many in the genre fail to do - a terror we can actually relate to. Enhanced further by (generally) realistic post-apocalyptic situations and dilemmas, the drama is able to develop characters with ferocious intensity.

This show keeps me on the edge of my seat and has me genuinely invested in its key players. There's nothing out there quite like it - it's a uniquely brilliant experience.
