The End is Nigh by John Joseph Adams, Charlie Jane Anders, Jack McDevitt
4.0
This was quite a collection. Everything in an apocalyptic story was here. Aliens, dystopias, comets, even cannibalism.
Yup. That one will stick with me for a while.
I dnd’t expect a light hearted romp from tale to tale, but some of the content really startled me. Which is not to say the stories are not very well written and unique. There are so many talents in this collection, so many amazing voices that were both familiar and new to me. It’s honestly hard for me to pick a favourite! None of these books shy away from the brutality, terror, or sadness that the end of the world might have, and most carry a meaningful message. A great series that I would recommend for lovers or horror and dark, speculative fiction!
