I've read my share of post-apocalyptic but one of the most chilling ever 
was Neville Shute's 'On The Beach' and the film made from it. It may not 
be a plausible scenario but in '57 nobody really had a clue. One of the 
threads that stuck in my mind was the guy restoring his Ferrari knowing 
that he was going to die.

One of the magazines I read religiously, Mechanix Illustrated I think 
rather than Popular Mechanics, had an issue with a lurid cover featuring a 
zombie-like face eaten away by radiation poisoning and an even more 
descriptive article on slow death by radiation. That did wonders for a 10 
year old's imagination.
