SUMMER OF THE APOCALYPSE By James Van Pelt
SUMMER OF THE APOCALYPSE by James Van Pelt is the story of a boy trying to find his father in the aftermath of the plague that destroys most of humanity, intertwined with the story of his journey as an old man trying to reach a university, whose books he believes will make mankind great again. Great writing and interesting concepts make this a solid apocalyptic read in the tradition of EARTH ABIDES.

THE CARRIER By Holden Scott
In THE CARRIER by Holden Scott, Jack Collier dedicates his life to a radical cure of cancer to save his girlfriend–flesh-eating bacteria redesigned to eat tumors. But something goes wrong, turning him into a carrier of disease that consumes its victims in seconds. Great writing, Michael Crichton-quality blend of science and fiction, but a little too neat–e.g., the disease never becomes a plague–leaving me wanting.
BELLFLOWER (2011)
In BELLFLOWER, filmed for just $17,000, two friends prepare for the apocalypse by building flamethrowers in their spare time. Then one falls in love, gets hurt, and the film descends into a tit for tat game of violent revenge that feels almost Shakespearean as the Mad Max fantasy becomes a bloody vengeance fantasy. The characters are compelling and the film has a unique feel, but the story might fall flat for some.
