Surfing the Apocalypse

Sometimes a magazine, book - or even web site - defies neat categorization. Only be the range, nature and tone of their content shall you know them.

Surfing the Apocalypse is just such a site. Is it a conspiracy buff's paradise? Well, it has articles on the Martian anomalies. Is it a Greenpeace-style warning against the dangers of genetic engineering and weird chemicals seeping into the water table? Well, it has material on that too.

Their content is divided into sections like conspiracy, contrails and chemtrails, crop circles, earth changes, forbidden archeology, the holy grail, prophecies and prophets, and even radar anomalies.

It surfs close to the territory inhabited in print by the likes of magazines like the Fortean Times, but somehow manages to be more catholic in the stories they run (or point to ... a lot of the material exists on third party sites).

There were some great crackers running there when we visited, articles like:

Earth's Magnetic Anomalies - Could The Poles Flip?

or

According to fundamental laws of physics, time is just another coordinate -- hash marks along a line with scarcely a preferred direction or flow.

Every last bit of it is fascinating stuff, gloriously uncommercial and designed mainly - we suspect - to please the site's owners. Yet somehow it all strings together.

Given this is the same style we adopt for the 'Nest's humble SF/F zine, we can only applaud.

This site is worth a dozen series of a Warnerized X-Files.

And who knows. Some of it might even be true?
