As of Nov 07
Here is my list of Post Apocalypse reference books and movies/TV shows (as of 2007) that can be used as mood, story or comparisons. They are broken down into categories and some are in several categories. Also is a list of movies that are Apocalypse currently going on or that offer Dark Future or Sci Fi atmosphere that might work well with P.A.
Eventually there will be a description associated with the titles.
If you have any suggestions or descriptions you wish to add, submit it to the list and I’ll update it.
