This collection of nine stories, suffused with apocalyptic anxiety and stubborn hope, comes from an author widely acclaimed for his mix of the fantastic, the menacing, and the melancholy-and includes, among other tales, "The End of the World As We Know It," a Nebula and International Horror Guild Award finalist; "The End of the End of Everything," a Shirley Jackson Award winner; and "The Bluehole," a Bram Stoker Award finalist.
"Nine gorgeously-written and closely-observed tales of ordinary people trying to hold it together when everything is falling apart.... I can't think of a more accomplished master of the fantastic short form. Prepare to hunt feral Girl Scouts! Pack your bags for a dinosaur safari! Invite friends to your end of the world party! Dale Bailey is the poet of the apocalypse; his stories are guaranteed to haunt you." -James Patrick Kelly, Nebula Award-winning author of The First Law of Thermodynamics
"There's a wonderful clarity in the writing, a strong emotional center in each piece, fully realized characters, and as dark as these pieces get, and they get dark, Bailey, unlike a lot of his contemporaries, never forgets the humor, which makes the darkness more profound. Nine stories that will stay with you long after the reading is done." -Jeffrey Ford, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Big Dark Hole
