From the publisher:

The end was just the beginning! In the 80’s, under the influence of Mad Max The Road Warrior and Escape From New York, the craving for post-apocalyptic cinema was at its highest around the world. From "2019 After the Fall of New York" to "Exterminators of the Year 3000", through to "Apocalypse 2024" and the "Mad Max" saga, here comes a book full of exclusive interviews and stunning vintage artwork to unveil how our future was seen in the past… And how it challenges our present time.

In After the World Ends, you will be taken on a journey through post-apocalyptic cinema, from its origins to its Golden Age during the VHS era. With dozens of films reviewed, hundreds of photos and posters, and the recurrent themes and tropes typical of the genre explored in detail. Packed with brand new interviews with the people who made the films, featuring, Fred Williamson, Sergio Martino, David Worth, Rae Dawn Chong, and Steve De Jarnatt to name a few, Let "The End" begin!
