Your Best Apocalypse Now

Daniel Blake isn't a prophet, but by the time two angels show up on his couch with questions about his visions, he's in too deep to come clean.

When Daniel wrote Your Best Apocalypse Now, it was supposed to be a scam. Instead, it was an accurate breakdown of the official plan for the apocalypse. The only problem? Doomsday hasn't gone according to plan. When the appointed time comes (October 15, 2021, at precisely 10:56 pm, Central Standard Time, if you're curious), the great world-devouring beast Fyarthlohopp is a complete no-show. Now the angels want answers, and they think Daniel has them.

Daniel wouldn't mind if the end of the world got postponed a little longer—he is, after all, somewhat attached to the world in question—so he joins the angels on a quest to investigate how Fyarthlohopp could miss such a crucial appointment. The way Daniel sees it, if he's going to save the world, the best place he can be is with the creatures tasked with its destruction.

As Daniel embarks on a journey filled with strange creatures, alternate dimensions, and a surprising number of offices, one question burns bright in his mind and refuses to go away: How does one sabotage an apocalypse, anyway?
