Description
In The Night Before the End of the World, award-winning author
Ran Walker crafts 200 microfiction and prose poem pieces that pulse with afrosurrealism, horror, humor, love, and loss.
Each piece, ranging from 9-235 words, explores the wild and often uneasy dance between technology and human creativity. Walker blends the bizarre with the everyday, bringing to life digital nightmares, fractured love stories, and moments of unexpected humor in a world on the edge of collapse.
From the eerie to the absurd, these stories invite readers to reflect on how technology shapes our deepest fears and desires. The Night Before the End of the World is a bold and thought-provoking collection that captures the beauty and chaos of being human in an increasingly digital world.
