It’s the apocalypse—now what? Prepare for the end of civilization with the help of the world’s best-selling survival guide series and learn how to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.

The doomsday clock is seconds from midnight. Extinction-level dangers draw closer with every tick. But fear not! Here is an indispensable guide to preparing for and surviving the ultimate in worst-case scenarios, with humor to lighten the load. You can’t panic if you’re laughing.

Dozens of survival experts provide illustrated, step-by-step instructions on:
  • How to Pack a Go Bag in Thirty Minutes
  • How to Make Your Bunker Feel Like Home
  • How to Survive an Alien Invasion
  • How to Defeat a Robot Uprising
  • How to Survive the Next Pandemic
  • How to Fend Off a Hostile Clan
  • How to Eat Insects and Rodents
  • How to Rebuild a Utopian Society

You've gotten this far. Don't let zombies take you out.
“[The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Apocalypse] might make you actually look forward to the end of the world”—Esquire
Josh Piven has been chased by knife-wielding motorcycle bandits (he escaped); been stranded on a chairlift during a howling blizzard (he was rescued); and torn both his rotator cuffs (he had surgery). He lives in a state of paranoia.

David Borgenicht is the founder of Quirk Books (www.quirkbooks.com). He has been surrounded by alligators, encountered bears, mountain lions, and more, and has lived to tell the tale. He currently lives in Philadelphia, but his go bag is stocked and ready.
