After by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling (354 Pages)

When most people think of the words "dystopia" and "apocalypse", the thing that most often comes to mind is zombies, right? In "After", a multitude of different scenarios are presented, each as chilling and enthralling as the next. The special thing about these stories, however, is that they capture what happens AFTER the apocalypse comes about, and how humanity is coping with it. Some people are flourishing, while at times others are suffering. Even though these stories are extreme fiction, they are an extremely insightful look into how human beings feel and act when they are faced with the worst. These stories were really entertaining and I would especially recommend it to anyone looking for a quick read!
