About this listen

*A Short History of the Apocalypse: your comprehensive guide to the challenges of Armageddon*

Join Frankie Boyle (Saturday Night Swindle; Celebrity Vengeance) and Charlie Skelton (head writer: Ad Naseum; David Suchet's News Sachet) as they debrief time traveller and bon vivant from the late 21st Century, Alonso Lampe.

Will humanity survive the coming cataclysm? Find out inside, along with helpful tips on cannibalism, thunderdome etiquette, and post-societal dating.

How do you go about joining a militia?
What will life be like in a billionaire's bunker?
How will people entertain themselves in re-education camps?

All these questions will be fully and satisfactorily answered.

With exclusive illustrations by Hall of Fame comic artist Frank Quitely, A Short History of the Apocalypse is vital to your future survival.

I cannot help but laugh but in equal measure think to myself.....do charlie and frankie need help? An intervention fulled mind mess of a book. Joyous at times. Laugh out loud funny at others. Mostly you think to yourself.....are they okay??

Hail Zendeya.

What a ballad of words to keep me company as I wait for the bomb drones. It's a hilarious listen that has HBO level story.

Exactly what I imagine the future to be, thanks Frankie and Charlie for confirming what my now dead grandchildren are telling me isn’t complete bollox.

Perfect

It might say more about me than the book, but the most depressing part was the mention of the name "James Corden" being so close to the bit about generative AI

Not as depressing as I'd imagined

I was expecting a lot more from this after enjoying Frankie Boyle’s previous novel immensely. However I found this too repetitive and it became an exercise in endurance to complete the experience.

Flattered to deceive

It’s kinda like the dark little screeds at the end of New World Order but with a narrative and stretched out to an absolutely hilarious degree.

Loved this

laugh out loud funny. Frankie’s voice is strangely soothing in a disturbing way. A good dose of madness to make you feel a bit more sane.

Hilarious

Hoping for an Alien sequel following the exploits of the silvery cackling Branson worm, Dicky B. 😱

Unforgettable

This is a fascinating and poignant account of what will become of us once the apocalypse has begun. Very funny, wildly surreal and full of wisdom for the future. Quite a lot of cannibalism.
