Promised Land and the other Spenser novels spawned the movie Spenser: For Hire and a string of made-for-TV movies. Parker's acclaim and his thorough background in classic detective literature helped earn him the somewhat unusual commission of completing a Philip Marlowe novel that the great Raymond Chandler had left unfinished. Best known for his portrayal of the tough but erudite investigator Spenser, Parker wrote over twenty-five novels over the course of his career, which began in 1973. Parker was one of contemporary fiction's most popular and respected detective writers. The Spenser novels have been cited by critics and bestselling authors such as Robert Crais, Harlan Coben and Dennis Lehane as not only influencing their own work but reviving and changing the detective genre. Parker was 77 when he died of a heart attack at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts discovered at his desk by his wife Joan, he had been working on a novel. His works incorporate encyclopedic knowledge of the Boston metropolitan area.

The film was written and directed by Frank Darabont. If you haven’t heard of this one, it’s a short but spine-tingling story. The Mist (also known as Stephen Kings The Mist) is a 2007 American science-fiction horror film based on the 1980 novella The Mist by Stephen King. There are no new reports about The Breathing Method and whether or not its still in production, but I do hope that it is. According to the last known reports surrounding the adaptation, Scott Derrickson, the man behind Sinister, will be overseeing the film as its director. Netflix later acquired the rights to distribute the series digitally. The series was initially broadcast on Paramount-owned network, Spike, between the period of JAugust 24, 2017. The series is based on the 1980 horror novel of the same name by Stephen King. Talks of a The Breathing Method adaptation have been around since 2012, and as of this writing is still tagged as “in development.” The short story is from another of King’s anthologies called Different Seasons, which also happens to be the same collection of stories where The Shawshank Redemption (in the book its full title is Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption) and Stand By Me (in the book it is simply called The Body) came from. The Mist is a science fiction-horror thriller series created by Christian Torpe. Thoughts, intentions, feelings, and all the senses are focused on the same goal. “Flow helps to integrate the self because in that state of deep concentration consciousness is unusually well ordered. That healthy human beings find order pleasing is a clue to its intrinsic value, and to its role in the creation of happiness. The bringing of order to consciousness, “control of the mind,” is therefore the key to happiness. “Flow” is much more than just a practical guide for leaders - it’s essential. Rather than being idle, doing what you love is a pathway to greater meaning, happiness, and a self of higher complexity. Csikszentmihalyi says that it is best to think about the universe in terms of order and chaos (entropy).

Of course, there are plenty more great apocalypse and post-apocalypse novels that didn’t fit on this list, and I haven’t read enough books in translation in this genre, so as ever, please add on your own favorites in the comments. We could argue all day about what actually constitutes an “apocalypse”-2020 is checking a lot of boxes, as you may have noticed-so for the most part, I’ve gone with my gut. I’ve done my best to limit this list to books in which there is-or has been-some kind of literal apocalypse, excluding dystopias (like The Handmaid’s Tale) or simply bleak visions of the future. Humans have been pondering the end of existence for as long as we’ve been aware of it (probably, I mean, I wasn’t there), and as a result we have a rich collection of apocalypse and post-apocalypse literature to read during our planet’s senescence. After all, someone must survive to tell the tale. The end of the world is never really the end of the world-at least not in fiction. From the oak-panelled studies of Massachusetts's universities to the grimy underworld of the city's docks, Gillespie and Hare must pursue a shadowy villain before he strikes again. But as the slayings continue, Gillespie must turn Hare lose and use the mind of one killer to catch another. When Hare is found working as a labourer on Boston's latest canal-building project, Captain Alexander Gillespie believes he has his man, the same murderer he chased through the streets of Edinburgh during his first year with the police. Thirty-four years later, a series of murders in Boston terrifies the public and thrusts the city's police force into a desperate search for the killer. Fleeing from a potential lynching in the Scottish capital, Hare headed for London, where rumours spread of his death in a lime pit at the hands of an angry mob. When William Burke was hanged in Edinburgh for mass murder in 1829, his accomplice, William Hare, was set free after turning king's evidence against his partner-in-crime. The TV show mostly ignores this, so a brief recap: The book is a really interesting, sometimes unsettling study in online business - a young woman as both company CEO and personal brand, which overshadows the fact that the Nasty Gal business was built on a shaky foundation from day one. TV Sophia lacks this depth, and intentionally so. If you’re not acquainted with the real story of self-made business mogul Sophia Amoruso ( I’m calling her Real Sophia), who the show reminds us at the top of every episode is the “real loose” basis for the girl boss in Girlboss, it’s got all the makings of a Social Network-style story that would get nominated for a couple Golden Globes but probably not win any.
