So kick back, grab a beer, fire up the grill, hunker down, and enjoy the ride. Eighteen of Sci-fi and Horror’s most inventive and -- dare we say demented -- minds have come together to compose a vision of the future which will scare the “bejesus” out of most “normal” folk.
“Listen up! The world as we know it is going to end, just as you thought -- only not for the reasons you predicted. It’s not the meek who’re going to inherit the earth, or the rich, or the famous, or the well-prepared. No, the folks who survive the end of civilization are those who never needed it much anyway and for reasons... well, you’re not likely to guess why, but I promise you, once you’ve read Bubbas of the Apocalypse, you’re going to have a whole new perspective on the real mainstays of South’m cuisine: Twinkies, Spam, and rot-gut red sauce.
“YARD DOG PRESS has collected nineteen of the darn strangest visions of the apocalypse and every one’s a keeper. So get yourself some Mountain Dew and settle in for a great read.” -Lynn Abbey, author of "Jerlayne" and "Sanctuary"
