A revelation of what was formerly undisclosed, the harbingers of apocalypse are edging ever closer...\u003c\/i\u003e The wasteland of abandoned memories, the end of the world or a chance for a new beginning. Be it a personal apocalypse, or one of great cataclysm, the stories that arise from the rubble are tales of aftermath and tales of survival. Bridging the gap between Science Fiction and Horror, the gothic overtones of the apocalyptic imagination are explored to their full extent in these short stories. \u003ci\u003eAfter the Fall: Tales of the Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of twenty short stories from some of the best up-and-coming writers of modern science fiction. All apocalyptic or dystopian in nature, some stories bring laughter, while others bring tears, but each is unique in its interpretation of the theme. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e-After the Fall-\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003efeatures: \u003ci\u003eCasting off\u003c\/i\u003e by \u003cb\u003eRobert Holtom\u003c\/b\u003e (Competition winner) As I sit in a cafe, waiting for a loved one, so I contemplate the end of the world. \u003ci\u003eNightshade\u003c\/i\u003e by \u003cb\u003eDamon DiMarco\u003c\/b\u003e Civilization's death rattle as we succumb to the Nightshade virus in a curious and ironic way. \u003ci\u003eIn Debt\u003c\/i\u003e by \u003cb\u003eJavier Moyano Perez\u003c\/b\u003e A dystopian story about a fictitious America enslaved for eternity by merciless creditors and artificial age preservation. \u003ci\u003eThe Dying and the Desolation\u003c\/i\u003e by \u003cb\u003ePaul S.
