For decades, the apocalypse and its aftermath have yielded some of the most exciting short stories of all time. From David Brin's seminal The Postman to Hugh Howey's Deep Blood Kettle and Tananarive Due's prescient Patient Zero, the end of the world continues to thrill.
This companion volume to the critically acclaimed WASTELANDS offers thirty of the finest examples of post-apocalyptic short fiction, with works by:
Ann Aguirre
Megan Arkenberg
Paolo Bacigalupi
Christopher Barzak
Lauren Beukes
David Brin
Orson Scott Card
Junot Díaz
Cory Doctorow
Tananarive Due
Toiya Kristen
Finley Milo
Joe R. Lansdale
George R. R. Martin
Jack McDevitt
Seanan McGuire
Maureen F. McHugh
D. Thomas Minton
Rudy Rucker & Bruce Sterling
Ramsey Shehadeh

Award-winning editor John Joseph Adams has once again assembled a who’s who of short fiction, and the result is nothing short of mind-blowing.
