The Day after Tomorrow is based on a novel called The 6th Winter by Douglas Orgill and John Gribbin and this is the novel which started Whitley Strieber to write The Day after Tomorrow

Hope its ok to double comment? wouldn't normally but this is the first time I'd seen the new episode within a few minutes of it being posted :) Domain as a book is one I remember being introduced to by an older cousin and , and in particular the other James Herbert books, rats ,lair, the spear and the fog are books I associate with being a teenager in the 80s. They remind me of a time when my parents, my mum in particular, encouraged me to read anything that i got the chance to and even though I was given a copy of the rats when I was about 12 my mum and dad were ok with it. Like yourselves, I'm a bloke of a certain age (55 at the moment of writing this increasingly long and rambling comment) , grew up in the 80s listening to metal, playing d and d and every other rpg I could get my mitts on and being exposed to mass produced fantasy, war and horror paperbacks galore, especially Moorcock, Lovecraft , Sven Hassel and Leo Kessler and James Herbert. Not so much as a gift from a family member but more from trawling the second hand book stores that seemed to be in every indoor market, at every church jumble sale and in every seaside town we visited on family holidays. Your podcast is one I stumbled on about a year ago and its become my go to for listening to on long drives through linking my phone to my car and I first listened to the first book of Corum and have been hooked since. The combo of irreverence, humour, nostalgia, geeky in jokes, talking about world view of the writers then and how they sit now in terms of how we see things and the sheer range of tangents you all go of on are a joy. I laugh and I learn with every new listen. Whilst I can't indulge in the beers side of the podcasts as I am usually driving when I listen I have found myself more and more looking for odder beers when shopping and thinking about what beer might go best with what book read. I'm still working through the collection of podcasts and there's loads I've yet to have a chance to listen to so theres' loads still to be uncovered I'm sure. Would love to hear something about the Von Bek books at some point, particularly the warhound and the worlds pain and at the moment I'm trying to write a little rpg campaign drop in for one of my groups games based on that set up. Sorry......really did ramble on there! Thank you for the stuff you've done and the stuff you'll no doubt add, love the whole range of voices and contributors and the nostalgia which finds me thinking back to routing through piles of paperbacks in a little bookstore in Ormskirk Market or in a Southport back alley, to flicking through Kerrang, White Dwarf and Imagine, 2000ad and to begging/buying/borrowing copies of Chaosium's Elric themed games as a teen...and beyond! I once sat on a table for a meal at a posh wedding reception with James Herbert and got a terrible case of fanboi angst, couldn't speak and kept grinning like an idiot at him. I'm looking forward to enjoying the rest of this podcast later today whilst on the road. Cheers :)

Thanks for that brilliant comment! Sounds like we're very much of a kind and would definitely have moved on the same circles at school. One of the things that make this podcast incredibly rewarding is finding out just how many of us are out there. And we're on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podbean and all the usual podcatchers if that's easier for your listening mode. Thanks for finding us!!!

And (double comment) I just read your comment out to Phil and she said that almost could be my own mini-biography!
