Wastelands 2 : more stories of the apocalypse / edited by John Joseph Adams.
"For decades, the apocalypse and its aftermath have yielded some of the most exciting short stories of all time. From David Brin's seminal "The Postman" to Hugh Howey's "Deep Blood Kettle" and Tananarive Due's prescient "Patient Zero", the end of the world continues to thrill. This companion volume to the critically acclaimed "Wastelands" offers thirty of the finest examples of post-apocalyptic short fiction."--Back cover.
