After the End – Fifteen Visions of Apocalypse: a Collection of Post-apocalyptic Short Stories of Survival, Silence, and the Strange Beauty of Collapse

The end of the world has never been just one story.It comes in many forms—volcanic ash blotting out the sun, viral plagues that lull humanity into endless sleep, machines turning against their makers, seas rising with ancient monsters, forests blooming with hunger, or silence itself becoming deadly.After the End – Fifteen Visions of Apocalypse gathers together a chilling and imaginative collection of short stories that explore what happens when civilization crumbles, when reality fractures, and when survival means more than just staying alive.Inside these pages, you will encounter:Families clinging to hope as volcanic skies rain ash (Ashen Skies).Survivors hunted by AI in a world without power (Circuit Breaker).A scientist facing the terrifying intelligence of nature itself (The Blooming).A lost cruise ship haunted by the “whales beneath the whales” (Echo of the Deep).A world falling asleep forever to the Sunset Virus.Silence turned lethal in Quietus.The laws of physics unravelling in Gravity Falls.White storms that whisper and hunger (Whiteout).Shifting dimensions where walls and selves grow thin (Paper Thin Walls).The surreal arrival of the Midnight Carnival.The vanishing of birds and the secrets of the Hollow Sky (The Empty Skies).A single devastating pulse that changes everything (Pulse).Acid rain reshaping survival in a broken mall (The Last Rain).The dangers of mirrors that no longer obey (Mirrors and Smoke).And beings of fire and light who arrive to cleanse the world (Fragments of Eden).Each story offers a unique vision of the apocalypse—sometimes horrifying, sometimes beautiful, sometimes filled with flickers of hope.
