I tend to like post-apocalyptic type stuff, always have. Even before it was all trendy like it is now. I think maybe that is why I'm drawn to it. I think a lot of people like it for the sheer horror it makes them feel (like how people like horror movies in general so much), but I think I like it because at some level, yeah, it's sort of comforting to think about, in a weird way. I know I'm not explaining this very well, because yeah, I do like having people around in general, but again, more to your point, I don't think I have the same reaction to a world devoid of people as a non-loner would.
