Selfies from the End of the World: Historical Accounts of the Apocalypse by Samuel Marzioli, Nathan Crowder, B. T. Joy
5.0
So proud to have my short story "Smoke Scream" included in such a great collection! Selfies from the End of the World is a diverse group of stories, narrated by characters from many walks of life, locations, situations, and ages. From the teenage narrator of Nicole Tanquary's Sounds of Silence a story about the complicated emotions of surviving when people you love don't to the old man telling Sylvia Heike's Winter in My Bones who tries to meet his end with dignity, each story elicited strong emotion in me as a reader.
"Happy at the End" by Matthew R. Davis and "The Adventures of Zombiegirl" by Garrett Croker both broke my heart for different reasons. "The Last Real Man" by Nathan Crowder was one of my favorites for the way the story changed as I read it, becoming something quite different than I thought it was going to be. For views of what humanity falls and aspires to when the world falls apart, you can't do better than this anthology.
