Also, it's amazing what ends up as a Wikipedia article: Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction. I particularly like that they make mention of some pre-1900 works ... oh, and the idea of a "cosy catastrophe"! |
There were a lot of such works back in the 50's up through the 70's. On the Beach, Pat Frank's excellent Alas, Babylon. For some reason, I didn't really connect Lucifer's Hammer with the current Mad Max style post Apocalyptic fiction. Ellison's A Boy and his Dog, which was later made into a movie is another.
