BLOODY WAR
Reading this quintessentially British apocalyptic nightmare, two things immediately became apparent: 1). The English have the market cornered on dystopian narratives, and 2). In recent years such fiction has grown extremely wimpy
APOCALYPSE CULTURE at 25
Edited by the late journalist/publisher Adam Parfrey (1957-2018), APOCALYPSE CULTURE is a complacency shattering compilation of articles, interviews and artwork dealing with the abhorrent, apocalyptic and plain weird

THE SILVER GLOBE
Here’s something interesting: an unfinished Polish science fiction film from the seventies that seems to have become a horror movie by default
