Apocalyptic Fears I: Collected Novels and Novellas: A Multi-Author Box Set
Thirteen full-length novels or novellas; more than 3000 pages of apocalyptic fiction for a bargain price. This is Volume 1. Look for Volume 2 in the series for more great stories!
When the world falls apart, when civilization collapses, when life as we know it ends, our greatest terrors becomes real. Perhaps it's nuclear war with its poisonous radiation, hideous plagues or chemical contamination, rogue artificial intelligences controlling killer robots, or zombies that turn our friends and neighbors into inhuman monsters. What can the common man or woman do in the face of apocalyptic fears?
Apocalyptic Fears I and II are collections of bestselling, award-winning or just plain exciting stories by some of the best independent authors of today.
Mutation Z, Parts 1 and 2 by Marilyn Peake. When Emma Johnson graduates from nursing school, she takes a job in an Ebola treatment camp inside Liberia, West Africa. There, she uncovers a secret about this facility: a biological horror soon to be unleashed upon the world.
The Singularity: Heretic by David Beers. In a dystopian world where humans must meet specifications to continue living, a man named Caesar emerges, thinking things no human should. All eyes fall on him, eyes that could kill him or lift him up, lead him to tragedy or revolution.
Feudal Land by Lisa Grace. When their school bus grinds to a halt from an EMP blast, Cam McGee, daughter of a doomsday prepper and Jaren, a foster teen she barely knows, head to an enclave deep in the Carolina Mountains.
Surviving the Evacuation: London by Frank Tayell. Nowhere is safe from the undead. Anarchy and civil war grip Britain. Bill Wright is trapped, alone, running out of food and water.
Annihilation: The Seamus Chronicles, Book 1 by K. D. McAdams. Teen genius Seamus Robinson and his family survived the fast-moving virus killing off the human race. Brains will be as important as brawn if they are to survive a post-apocalyptic cross-country road trip.
CONTAIN: A BUNKER 12 Novel by Saul Tanpepper. The Flense spreads with ruthless speed and stealth. The infected are turned into soulless creatures which wreak destruction upon anyone and anything in their path.
The Fall of America: Premonition of Death by W. R. Benton. It started with the biggest stock market crash in history. Soon, a devastated America comes under new siege--invading Russian troops.
Dark Apocalypse by C. J. Anderson. Lauren Vasquez wakes up one morning in an underground bunker to discover the
destruction of Earth, and a homicidal artificial intelligence is choosing who lives and who dies.
Portal Arcane, Reversion: The Inevitable Horror by J. Thorn. With a noose around his neck, Samuel must outrun the ominous cloud eating away at his world before it collapses upon itself.
Dancing with Darwin by Chris Northern. A plague of Insanity is enough to bring civilization crashing to the ground, but the crazy-bug is only the start of humanity's problems.
Primal Shift by Griffin Hayes. Something is affecting our minds, our sanity. Could it be a terrorist attack? The ultimate virus? Or an experiment gone horribly wrong?
Nano Contestant, Parts 1 and 2 by Leif Sterling. In 2114, Pinnacle Corporation, the world's largest tech company, hosts the Tech Games to showcase the world's latest technology.

Apocalyptic Fears I is a box set of 14 apocalyptic stories, edited by David VanDyke, and containing his story, ‘Reaper’s Run,’ as well as 13 other stories by authors such as Marilyn Peake and David Beers.
I’ve previously read and reviewed Peake’s stories of a secret government program to create an army of zombie soldiers, and the first two in the series, ‘Mutation Z,’ are included in this collection.
Each author comes at the post-apocalypse world differently, with stories that are as fascinating as they are far-fetched. And, each gives readers a chilling look at what things will look like when civilization fails and life as we know it ceases to exist. Whether it’s a takeover by a superior AI with the aim to create the perfect—and totally subservient—human, or when those hungry for power overreach in their efforts to take and hold it, fans of the genre will find a story here that will tap into whatever is his or her greatest fear.
A few of the stories could have used a bit more proofreading, but the few gaffes that were missed don’t detract from some great storytelling.
I received a free copy of this set in exchange for my unbiased review.

A fine collection
This collection of books has been both a fantastic adventure and a great distraction. The stories are great and thoroughly entertaining, each story brought me to different levels joy and happiness, as well as different things to think about. Such as which situation would I rather be in, or which storyline would cause me the greatest trouble. However, fantasies aside, I would suggest this for any fans of SciFi, fantasy, or horror. It's an easy yet enjoyable read.

I enjoyed about half of the books in this collection, which seems to be the case with most collections I read... I know I stopped reading at least 3 of the ones that were towards the end of the collection.

Not a particularly good collection of novellas and short stories about the end of the world as we know it. I picked it up on sale for the princely sum of $1, and that's about what it was worth. Thumbs down.

I never just toss a book
Always finish a book but not this one. Belongs in religion not here. .
Right wing nonsense that is dated enough to show the militia as they are.
Otherwise I can't recommend this in any way.
