Read The End First

“Read The End First is a wonderful collection of devious and inventive tales about the end of the world. The apocalypse has never before been this much fun!”
–NY Times bestseller Jonathan Maberry, author of Dead of Night and Assassin’s Code.

“Read The End First is a chilling and utterly unique take—or rather, 24 different takes—on the end of the world as we know it. These stories present a fractured prism of apocalypse served up every way imaginable. Open it anywhere and be afraid.”
–Joe Schreiber, author of Star Wars: Death Troopers and Chasing The Dead.
