An anthology of the best post-apocalyptic literature of the last two decades from many of today’s most renowned authors of speculative fiction.

Together they reveal what it will mean to survive and remain human after the end of the world…

From a kill-or-be-killed gunfight with a vampire to an encounter in a steampunk bordello, the weird western is a dark, gritty tale where the protagonist might be playing poker with a sorcerous deck of cards, or facing an alien on the streets of a dusty frontier town.

Included are Orson Scott Card’s first “Alvin Maker” story in a decade, and an original adventure by Fred Van Lente, creator of Cowboys & Aliens.
