I'm all about some End of the World fiction (as if you couldn't tell by my other reviews). This one was a collection of short stories with the common theme of apocalyptic proportions. Some of these were really well written and had an original disaster, others had a scenario that's been done many times but the writing was good, and there were a few that probably should have been subjected to some heavy editing. A few of the really good ones:"Julia's Garden" by Michael Aaron. This will make you think twice about wanting more powerful anti-biotics."Executable" by Hugh Howey. How nice it will be when everything has wifi, right? Keep dreaming.The good stories outnumber the bad and there were a few that I would like to see become full-sized novel or even feature films.
