– Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction: concerned with the completion of civilization either through nuclear war, afflict, or some other general disaster. Post-apocalyptic fiction is embedded in a world or civilization after such a catastrophe. The time frame may be right away after the disaster, concentrating on the travails or psychology of survivors, or considerably later, typically consisting of the style that the existence of pre-catastrophe civilization has actually been forgotten (or mythologized).
Post-apocalyptic stories typically occur in an agrarian, non-technological future world, or a world where just scattered elements of innovation remain.
There is a considerable degree of blurring between this form of science fiction and that which deals with false utopias or dystopic societies.
Dark fantasy: a subgenre of fantasy that can refer to literary, artistic, and movie works that combine fantasy with elements of horror. The term can be used broadly to refer to fantastical works that have a dark, gloomy atmosphere or a sense of horror and dread and a dark, often brooding tone.
