This book confronts the question of why our culture is so
fascinated by the apocalypse. It ultimately argues that while many
see the post-apocalyptic genre as reflective of contemporary fears,
it has actually co-evolved with the transformations in our
mediascape to become a perfect vehicle for transmedia storytelling.
The post-apocalyptic offers audiences a portal to a fantasy world
that is at once strange and familiar, offers a high degree of
internal consistency and completeness, and allows for a diversity
of stories by different creative teams in the same story world.
With case studies of franchises such as The Walking Dead and The
Terminator, Transmedia Storytelling and the Apocalypse offers
analyses of how shifts in media industries and reception cultures
have promoted a new kind of open, world-building narrative across
film, television, video games, and print. For transmedia scholars
and fans of the genre, this book shows how the end of the world is
really just the beginning...
