Philip A. McClimon is an author who likes to write about the end of the world (post-apocalyptic, Sci/Fi), mostly because he thinks the shopping would be awesome (No crowds, everything free). He likes heroes that are the strong, silent type and not necessarily male. By silent he means up until the time there is something snarky to say, usually before, during, and after doing something cool.


So, that's Phil. He's not strong, rarely silent, and isn't known for doing a lot of cool things.

But his characters are.

Hi, Sam,

Thanks for reading my stories! DeadLand Volume Two is an exclusive book offered to people who signed up for my newsletter, or took part in some other promotion I offered. It is currently not listed on any of the major book outlets and so there is no place to leave a review. Thanks so much for reading it. I am very glad you liked it. (less)

I touch upon this in chapter three, TICKET TO RIDE. Even as a kid myself, I remember seeing the movie OMEGA MAN, remade as I AM LEGEND with Will Smith. It was one man alone (or so he thought) in a big city after an apocalypse. The attraction for me was the whole city was his oyster. He could go anywhere he wanted, take anything he wanted. We see this kind of thing play out in more recent shows like THE LAST MAN ON EARTH when the main character has all kinds of national treasures hanging on his walls and he is living in the White House. In the third chapter of ROKKETS, the kids are sitting around talking about taking advantage of this, of the places they might go, things they might do. Each one has their own thoughts on the matter. Area 51? For one reason or another, Misty wants to go see Johnny Rokkets who every "sane" person thinks died years ago. For one reason or another, it's decided and then it's destination: Memphis.(less)

Boneshaker by Cherie Priest

It is billed as being post-apocalyptic and having zombies. It has elements of both, but only tangentially so. It is decidedly "steampunk" and not completely unbearable. I did finish it, but in retrospect it is not my cup of tea. ...more

“Truax had another marshmallow poised to go into his open mouth, but he froze after hearing Dale’s outburst. “I don’t think I like your attitude, Dale. Everyone is addicted to something. Drugs, power, sex. Might as well be to something wholesome, like these little sweet white puffs, made from 100% all natural unicorn poop.” “That’s not where marshmallows come from.” Truax grabbed Dale by the shirt and pulled him against the cell bars. “Yes it is, damn you!” “Okay, okay! Marshmallows are unicorn poop!”

“when the end came and there was initial chaos and rampant starvation, people learned all too well that you could not rely on stuff. You needed friends. A dead phone provided no companionship; an empty house no comfort. The latest fashions provided no food, but you could always eat a close friend.”

“Stand. Stand against this threat. Stand with your heads held high—for you are the true possessors of this world’s future. Stand proud. And I will stand with you. This is our world to rebuild. Not theirs. Ours. So, let’s not fuck it up. - The post-apocalyptic nomadic warrior from a speech given at the gates of Eternal Hope, Colorado, moments before the Massacre of Eternal Hope, Colorado.”
