Doom Desk The Doom Almanac · 366 pages
Every day of the year, in doom history
Pick a date, any date. The Almanac files every doomsday deadline, every day a prediction went on the record and every day one was busted, by month and day, across 204 to 2280. 126 of 366 dates have something on file; the other 240 get the nearest doom either side and a few quiet words from the desk.
