Apocalypse Now

The end of the world is nigh.

Well at least according to some.

So it makes sense that if we are going to go out with a big bang or some other cataclysmic event to get update to with as much apocalyptic fiction that you can find so that you can be ready to face whatever may come.

It's kind of handy that apocalyptic fiction is so in vogue right now.  The end of the world has never been so popular which probably says something about the human psyche, I'm just not sure what.

Are we all doomsayer's or is it a more hopeful notion that it could never happen to us so reading about it is some kind of life affirming thing.

Maybe it's just all just a  guilty pleasure.

Whatever it might be there's plenty of scenarios to choice from; exploding volcanoes, virus's ravaging the population, asteroids and meteors hurtling towards the earth, there is something for everyone.
