end of the world

In the present, three individuals--Lila, a pregnant doctor, Kittridge, a loner, and April, a teenager caring for her younger brother--struggle to survive as a man-made apocalypse unfolds, and one hundred years in the future, Amy and others support the Twelve as they fight a dark enemy with plans for humankind that are worse than extinction.

A graphic novel collection of eight myths from cultures around the world about the end of the world.

"The apocalypse is not only near, but a certainty. Set before the event and the aftermath detailed by the hit manga, this stand-alone prequel light novel series chronicles the inexorable approach of the reign of vampires.

"This is the way the world ends... for the last time. The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women. Essun has inherited the power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every orogene child can grow up safe. For Nassun, her mother's mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world, and accepted what her mother will not admit: that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed"--Provided by publisher.

"Georgie Spider foresees the future and the end of the world. She sees that Ashala is only person who can prevent it. But then she sees Ashala's death. As the girls deal with threats from others, Georgie must try to prevent harm from coming to Ashala. The future depends on it."--OCLC.

Velma, who has spent three years with the Taram, a secret underground order, is surprisingly named Kachina, the fabled chosen empowered to fight for the fate of the world, but first she must kill someone she loves to fulfill the prophecy.

In How to Survive the Apocalypse Robert Joustra and Alissa Wilkinson examine a number of popular stories ? from the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica to the purging of innocence in Game of Thrones to the hordes of zombies in The Walking Dead ? and argue that such apocalyptic stories reveal a lot about us here and now, about how we conceive of our life together, including some of our deepest tensions and anxieties.

"The attack on Nagoya begins. The Japanese Imperial Demon Army descends on the vampire nobles, aiming to exterminate them completely. Three squads are assigned to take down each of eight nobles. Because they are undermanned in comparison, Shinoa and Narumi squads will have to work together seamlessly to take down their one noble. But lurking amongst the nobles is Crowley Eusford, a formidable vampire eager to drink dry his would-be vanquishers"--Back cover.
