After the Fall: Tales of the Apocalypse is a collection of twenty short stories from some of the best up-and-coming writers of modern science fiction. All apocalyptic or dystopian in nature, some stories bring laughter, while others bring tears, but each is unique in its interpretation of the theme.
After the Fall features:
Casting off by Robert Holtom (Competition winner) - As I sit in a cafe, waiting for a loved one, so I contemplate the end of the world.
Nightshade by Damon DiMarco - Civilization's death rattle as we succumb to the Nightshade virus in a curious and ironic way.
In Debt by Javier Moyano Perez - A dystopian story about a fictitious America enslaved for eternity by merciless creditors and artificial age preservation.
The Dying and the Desolation by Paul S. Huggins - Drake is alive, man and animal alike have been wiped off the planet by a virilent form of rabies, immune or lucky he must adapt if he wants to survive.
Seen and not Heard by Ilana Masad - A mother's fight to retain her sanity and her illegal, secret, son in the post-nuclear dictatorship she lives in.
They Turn Red Then Black by Spencer Lawes - In a run-down village dependent on a river of garbage, two boys desperately try to find a way to stop their crippled mother being raped by the inhabitants of nearby villages.
Diary of a Zee by Brian LeCluyse - Set in an apocalyptic, dying Austin, Texas and told from the point of view of a vegetarian, pot-smoking, hippie, liberal zombie.
The Ambulancemen by Heather Parry - A world turned on its head; a world where the sirens of an Ambulance are to be feared, not respected.
You Call This an Apocalypse? by Errick A. Nunnally - Two foster kids more different than alike, from one of the poorest neighborhoods in Boston during the first day of the zombie apocalypse.
