For centuries, the apocalypse has been a recurrent theme within
art, literature, music, and - more recently - cinema. Within the
context of contemporary popular culture, its influence may be felt
in areas as diverse as extreme metal music, disaster movies, anime
and manga, Science Fiction dystopianism and the Left Behind series
of novels. The aim of this collection of essays is to examine the
influence of apocalyptic texts on popular cultural products,
focusing on the timelessness and malleability of their themes to
audiences. Chapters focus on the influence of such texts within the
areas of film, music, literature, the internet, art, and science
and technology.
