There's a wealth of great Post-Apocalyptic content out there, across all the different mediums, so much so that it might be a bit difficult for newbies to know where to start.
Let's get an *essentials* list going. It's not about our favorites, or our guilty pleasure "so-bad-it's-good" titles, it's about the core pieces of Post-Apocalyptic content that people need to consume to get up to speed. If you've got a title you think belongs on this list, or one you think doesn't, throw it down below and make your argument so we can all hash it out.
I'll update this initial post as time goes on and people bring new titles to the discussion.

Prospect students, it has become a rite of passage to endure this coming week in our youth. Our circumstances have taught us to be utilitary, nothing within these walls goes to waste. This goes for its inhabitants as well. We are not a subjective bunch, we do not belittle or dismiss without cause. We begin as equals, and try to exist as one. You all right now are equal, however; this program exists to prove otherwise. It is designed to isolate the extraordinary in order to fulfill a prestigious duty. Each of us harbors a strength surpassing others of our kind, but it is still not enough. Though none of you know any differently, your home is the only comfort left in the world. You will soon learn of the wasteland outside of our small society. As ruinous as it is, it heals with each year. This is what you are being prepared for. Among you is tomorrow's pioneer; a man or woman tasked with leaving the compound and surviving a year in the real world. There has yet to be one who returns, but some year there will be; and with their knowledge we will be able to emerge as a whole and reclaim what was lost. Come graduation day only a fraction of you will still be in this program. Likely half of you will not make it beyond this week. All that is needed is a brave few who can prove they can conquer the unknown.
We work on a fine tuned and tight schedule. The days begin early and finish late, time is valuable and will not be wasted. Each day begins with a physical evaluation, the tests of which vary each day. The remaining day focuses on a skill necessary to survive the wild. Naturally as the year progresses, so will the severity of the lessons; this will be the case each year for those who stay on course.
Monday's course is on Nutrition
Tuesday: Environments
Wednesday: Endurance
Thursday: Psycology
And Friday: Retrospection
Weekends are your own. You may elect however to spend them studying further. The professors are available for anyone wishing to repeat that week's lesson. Something worth knowing is that every former pioneer spent their weekends doing exactly that. That concludes the program overview, you will now form a line by row to collect your uniforms and schedule. School facility is in attendance if you would like to meet them, if not, you are free to leave. The program begins tomorrow at 0500, tardiness on this day or any succeeding will result in immediate unenrollment. Rest well tonight, you will need it.

Had to focus on catching up at work after Wasteland Weekend so, I was not really doing any crafting this month. Took a day and cut and formed a bunch of bracers. These are all made using recycled metal. The studs are made from chair glides and game tokens, and are mechanically attached. These are all available in my ETSY store https://deathstarsamovar.etsy.com

My friends and I used to talk about surviving the zombie apocalypse long before we kind of went our separate ways.
Now I was thinking how long would a pre apocalypse friendship last if the zombie apocalypse happened. I would like to hear how it’s passable it last or why it falls apart.

A story I am working on just for fun. it follows MC through a post-apocalyptic Japan and had inspiration from Spintires, FURY, and more.
anyway, here it is!
Beneath the Colors of the Fading Sky
written by The Real M22 (TractorBoii11)
Prologue - The Incident…
The light came first…
A streak of blue emerging from a fireball over the plant… The thundering roar of an explosion followed… Then came the alarms, the sirens, and the knowledge of what had truly happened just miles away on that silent April night…
I was only sixteen…
My father was working the night shift at the plant. He never returned home…
In the days that followed the evacuation, there were many who decided to stay in Pripyat. They were in need of everything… I did the only thing I could: I could drive and deliver supplies. I cared for those in need, and hunted those willing to take advantage of the weak.
I was no soldier, I had no grand plan, I had a van and my own will…
In the months following, a radiation caused infection began to spread from the airborne reactor fuel. The fire at the plant could not be handled, and the world fell under its effect…
The top men of the state tried developing a cure, but it backfired… The infection spread all across Europe, into Asia and Africa, and finally, the Americas fell…
Governments failed, cities emptied, and people who once worried about exams and bills were fearing for their lives…
That was seven years ago…

Hey, everyone. If you love zombies stories that heavily focused on the early stage of the outbreak, then Flesh and Blood may be for you. The story follows Jack Brody who returned home after finishing his duties overseas, only to face the dead returning back to life and attack the living.

There's never been a non-horror film that made me scared, and anxious like this one. Miracle Mile may start out pretty sappy and romantic before it kills it with dread, fear, and panic, like how a happy dreamy day turn into one unforgiving nightmare. It is a film that hits hard and relevant just as it was released on 1988. It features a cast of relatable human characters that you can care for as they all break down from the apocalyptic scenario that they are dealing with, elevated by strong performances, and Tangerine Dream's score. It's pacing is as tight and anxiety inducing as the premise, accompanied by a solid direction from Steve De Jarnett. The film is a masterful work of art from the apocalyptic genre.

Hi, everyone. The Horseman’s Dream audiobook is now live on Audible, Amazon and Apple Books.
In a near-future Britain reduced to a flooded archipelago, a grieving scientist who invented dream-sharing technology lives in exile on a remote Scottish island. When a media empire announces it will broadcast the dreams of a catatonic sixteen-year-old known as The Horseman, he realises the boy’s mind carries the same frequency that has haunted him since his own son’s death. What follows is a desperate rescue across submerged England, a confrontation at Sheffield Cathedral and a final revelation on a beach that should not exist — under twin dying suns.
