A review by lizella
The End is Nigh by John Joseph Adams, Hugh Howey
4.0
I’m not a regular reader of anthologies or short stories collections, but I’m glad I picked this one up. In addition to some first rate stories by authors I already enjoy, I have a handful of new authors to explore. I am also a big fan of apocalyptic tales and am intrigued by the concept of this trilogy and the exploration of the three phases of disaster that will be explored.
The authors explore a wide range of ideas in this collection and I was pleased to find minimal overlap throughout. A few stories may have explored similar big picture scenarios, but with such different characters and walks of life that I found it to be a strength. I look forward to see which stories are carried through all three volumes in addition to hearing from new voices.
