As a contributor to this anthology, I don't think it is fair for me to put a star rating on it, but I wanted to write a review nonetheless.
A wonderfully diverse collection of stories that center around the end of the world. From vampires and zombies to blights and droughts, this is a great book to meet your post-apocalyptic needs.
My own story, "Nightmare Rising" is featured in this frightful collection as well as some other great stories, such as Sheri Velarde's "Where the Water Is" and Andy Lockwood's "The Last of the Regulars".
If you're looking for a little post-apocalyptic horror, look no further.

Fourteen stories all on the theme of the world coming to an end. Of course such an idea intrigued me! I had never read any of the authors before but part of the idea of anthologies is to discover new voices. Like most anthologies, some stories appealed more than others. It's well edited and I don't remember tripping over any typos at all.
There were just three of the dreaded present tense stories and a couple of others where the writing wasn't up to scratch or the plot went nowhere, but also a few notable stories with interesting ideas stood out.
We had aliens, zombies, vampires eating zombies, people who melt, mythological gods, dystopia, dead people who stay animate long enough to testify against their murderers, WW3, immortality whether you want it or not and a fairy world dying. Quite a variety of approaches!
The stand out stories IMO are From Strange to Indifferent by Katie Jaarsveld and Nightmare Rising by McKenzie Richardson. Both of these are well written and explor some interesting ideas. The latter will be of particular interest to Fantasy fans.
Not too bad as such collections go and it's given me two more authors to pay attention to.
