THE WORLD ENDS FIVE WAYS. FIVE HEART POUNDING STORIES IN ONE BOOK A signal nobody can hear turns whole cities into walking corpses that wait for you to fall asleep.
A girl from a clan living in the ruins of Manhattan descends into the buried subway tunnels to bring her brother home … and finds out who really survived the long-ago war.
A Shoshone-blooded survivor wanders a glassed-over American desert with one bullet, one mission, and a coyote-headed god on his trail.
A father races his daughter across a dying Utah toward a mesa in the sky — where the only road in can be blown apart at sundown.
A mechanic in a domed town wonders why every road out of his city ends at the same scorched line in the sand … and what happens when he finally crosses it.
Five post-apocalyptic horror stories. Five different endings of the world. One question burning under all of them: what does a human being become when the world stops protecting them?
Cinematic, atmospheric, and unflinching, Stories from the Dying World is literary horror for readers who still remember what silence sounds like.
For fans of Jeremy Robert Johnson, Paul Tremblay, Stephen Graham Jones, and the early Stephen King short collections.
