Let's just say I've finished this book. I haven't read all the stories, I had to give up after reading so many bad ones.. I've been trying to get through this book for a week, so I decided what I read was enough.One of my favourite story was Removal Order by Tananarive Due, it broke my heart and then I had nightmares, my favourite combo.. I have to check out her other works! My absolute favourite was - not surprisingly - Spores by Seanan McGuire. I will have to get the other two books just for h...
The ideea of this three volume Anthology is great, to have three storie connected and to report the things before, in, and after a special apocalyptic event, but the texts, unfortunately, aren`t on the same level.The first half was quite boring and I was very close to let it go.But, in the end, I could find some interesting texts, but, still, I don`t thing that it will be a powerful factor to convince me to try the second volume of the series.Dancing with the dead in the land of Nod, Will McInto...
Some of these stories were great. Some I didn’t like but read all the way through anyways.
Anthology. I'm going to read each author's work in this triptych. Starting with Volume 1, then Volume 2 and lastly Volume 3. I'm hoping that each story will give an extension of the beginning story. 3.89 stars average. Most of these stories were 4 or 5 stars. I would definitely recommend this book.1. The Balm and the Wound by Robin Wasserman. A con-man is right and his unknown young son ends up being just what his cult needed. Loved this story, which I didn't think I would because I thought it w...
Some people may think what I have written are *spoilers*. Gave a very brief overview and my thoughts on the stories. This anthology is the best I have read. In any book with so many stories, some hit the mark, some don't. There is a little bit for everyone. I feel lucky that the first few stories I chose to read were really great. That is what kept me involved and reading "just one more" before putting it down for the night.Although I am still working my way through, I wanted to comment on certa...
Wonderful anthology and a great idea for a collection. While some stories were stronger than others, no story was a miss. Recommended for readers who enjoy apocalyptic fiction. I can't wait to read the next installment!
this is a great collection of short pre-apocalyptic stories, and i love the concept of the triptych. there were a small number toward the end that didn't appeal to me personally, but i could easily see them appeal to others. overall this collection is well curated and the breadth of end-of-the-world topics is impressive. like, really impressive. these aren't really spoilers, but some plot lines are vaguely outlined within these individual reviews so if you don't want to know anything stop readin...
If you liked John Joseph Adams' 'Wastelands' anthology; then this one is a must. The stories range from good to excellent.This is an independently released anthology, but it's got the right names behind it and I'd expect it to succeed, because this is a fully professional, high-quality collection. **** The Balm and the Wound—Robin WassermanA cult leader is adept at providing platitudes and fleecing his flock. But after his young son is dropped off at his place; the leader, along with the rest of...
This is an excellent anthology with an interesting premise: it's the first of three planned anthologies, but with a twist. All the stories in this one (the first) are set in the time just before an apocalyptic event. The second anthology will be continuations of the first set of stories and will be set DURING the above-mentioned apocalyptic events, while the third anthology will be the end of the stories, set AFTER the events. So in effect, this is the first book in a trilogy of trilogies. Kudos...
Review for Seanan McGuire's "Spores" which ... 0.0
My (Strange? Disturbing? Downright masochistic in the middle of a global pandemic?) fascination with apocalyptic short stories (which began a few years ago with a different anthology I had purchased almost by mistake), led me to recently discover “The Apocalypse Triptych” collection (trilogy?). This is a fascinating project which not only consists of three separate anthologies containing short stories expanding on the apocalyptical theme, but which also promises continuity for some of them, in a...
Great short stories and most left me wanting to see the next chapter (so here's hoping all of these have continuations in the book two of the Apocalypse Triptych: The End is Now). Some of these are more haunting than others but all had me by the throat by the end and I don't yet want to look away. I was already very familiar with the writings of Robin Wasserman, Hugh Howey, Will McIntosh and Nancy Kress so the rest here were good exposure to new to me authors. Definitely recommended & I went rig...
