How will the world end? Will it be aliens, zombies, mother nature or nuclear war? Or maybe, just maybe, too many weasels!?
This is a fantastic collection of drabbles that explore the horror of the end of the world, each one offering something new and different.
There are so many wonderful stories and writers featured in this book, but I wanted to mention a few whose stories really stood out for me -
Jo Seysener, LJ Skelton, Austin P Sheehan, Michelle River, Neen Cohen, Annie Percik, KT Tate, Jessica Duncan, Jacob Baugher, Joachim Heijndermans, Crystal L Kirkham, Jacek Wilkos, Jodi Jensen, Blake Jessop, Gregg Cunningham, Shelly Jarvis, Melanie Harding-Shaw, AR Johnston, Kevin J Kennedy, Nikky Lee, Jason Holden, Andrew Anderson, Peter J Foote, Jason Hayashi, Kelly A Harmon, Jasmine Arch, Kelly Matsuura, Stephen Herczeg, Cathy Hinkle and Nicole Little.
And a special mention to Carole de Monclin for creating my favourite drabbles in the entire book, a series of connected diary entries from the end of the world - I really wanted to read more of these!

This is a cracking collection, full of entertaining stories and so many great authors to watch out for in the future!

*Disclaimer: I have a story in this anthology*
Some great stories. Love how some authors manage to give the reader a ‘punch in the gut ending’ with only a hundred words. Thought it would be flooded with zombie drabbles, but was pleasantly surprised by the variety of apocalyptic scenarios. Though there are still plenty for the zombie lover. Really enjoyed it.

I am one of the authors, and as such have high standards for the book. When I read my copy, I found more zombies than apocalyptic tales. So if you are a zombie fiction fan - this is great reading for you. I guess that is the modern conception of the apocalypse... perhaps the end of the world has been forced to take a detour by Dean Winchester? (From Supernatural, not to be confused with editor Dean Kershaw of course!)
