Synopsis
The apocalypse is scary and fun. Such is the message of The Apocalypse Reader, a fiercely engrossing anthology of fiction writers' renderings of the apocalypse. This collection features first-rate authors at all stages of their careers--including classics from Nathanial Hawthorne and Stephen King, a little-known piece by Joyce Carol Oates, as well as original new works from Dennis Cooper, Shelley Jackson, Stacey Levine, and others. The prospect of a universal doom which is coterminous with our own demise is fascinating, terrifying, and fun--it is the ultimate expression of the human tendency to believe oneself the main character on the world's stage. This is especially relevant today, when the globe seems increasingly claustrophobic and the possibility of mass annihilation is disturbingly real. The book collects a wide variety of approaches to the subject, including the nuclear, the satirical, the allegorical, the theological, the indescribable, the fantastical, and the utterly bleak. Other contributors include Neil Gaiman, Michael Moorcock, Edgar Allan Poe, Ursula K. Le Guin, Joseph Novakovich, Brian Evenson, Colette Phair, H. G. Wells, Steve Aylett, and many others., These are the ways the world ends. Thirty-four new and selected Doomsday scenarios: an enthralling collection of work by canonical literary figures, contemporary masters, and a few rising stars, all of whom have looked into the future and found it missing. Across boundaries of place and time, these writers celebrate the variety and vitality of the short story as a form by writing their own conclusions to the story of the world. Obliteration has never hurt so good. Contributors include Grace Aguilar, Steve Aylett, Robert Bradley, Dennis Cooper, Lucy Corin, Elliott David, Matthew Derby, Carol Emshwiller, Brian Evenson, Neil Gaiman, Jeff Goldberg, Theodora Goss, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Jared Hohl, Shelley Jackson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Stacey Levine, Tao Lin, Kelly Link, H.P. Lovecraft, Gary Lutz, Rick Moody, Michael Moorcock, Adam Nemett, Josip Novakovich, Joyce Carol Oates, Colette Phair, Edgar Allan Poe, Terese Svoboda, Justin Taylor, Lynne Tillman, Deb Olin, Unferth, H.G. Wells, Allison Whittenberg, and Diane Williams.
