Coming Soon: The AI Blackout Apocalypse Series
When the grid goes down and the screens go dark, survival stops being a theory. A first look at JC Mitchell's upcoming post-apocalyptic prepper survival thriller series.
When the Lights Go Out for Good
We've all wondered what would happen if the power simply... stopped. Not for an hour, not for a night, but for good. No phones. No fuel pumps. No deliveries to the supermarket. No heating when the cold front rolls in.
That question is at the heart of The AI Blackout Apocalypse, my upcoming post-apocalyptic prepper survival thriller series — and it's coming soon.
A World Thrown Back a Hundred Years Overnight
The series opens with Disconnected. A catastrophic AI blackout wipes out the power grid and every modern system that depends on it, and the world is thrown back a hundred years overnight. Everyone had laughed at "Doomsday Graham" — until the day he was proved right.
For one family, survival means remembering what their grandparents always knew.
What to Expect
This isn't a story about superheroes or secret bunkers. It's about ordinary people — the ones who prepared, and the ones who didn't — learning to survive without the systems they once trusted. Across the series you'll find:
- Hard choices about who to help and who to turn away
- The slow grind of winter, where every mistake is paid for in full
- Communities pushed to breaking point as the realisation sets in that no one is coming
- The quiet, everyday courage of people who refuse to give up on each other
The Road Ahead
The series will follow the survivors of Malloryville through the first days of the blackout, the long winter that follows, and the hungry spring beyond it. Each book is a complete chapter in a larger story about what we lose when the lights go out — and what we find in ourselves when they do.
If you've enjoyed The Zombie Fall of Britain or The Fordsham Chronicles, this series takes that same relentless, character-driven survival into a world where the threat isn't the dead walking — it's the simple, devastating absence of everything you relied on yesterday.
Coming soon. Watch this space — and maybe check the back of the cupboard for a torch.
