A truly incredible collection! My favorite stories were: "History of the New World" by Adam Garnet Jones, "Andwànikàdjigan" by Gabriel Castilloux Calderon, "Story for a Bottle" by Darcie Little Badger, "Nameless" by Nazbah Tom, and "Eloise" by David A. Robertson.

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Every single story was compelling, beautifully written, and important. That in and of itself is very rare for an anthology. But the flow of the stories was also magnificent. Between exceptional editing and meaningful storytelling, Love After the End is easily favorite speculative fiction anthology I've read. I also feel that this collection offers a kind of imagination that is in direly short supply right now. Reflections on joy in devastation, love in ruin, and healing before it's too late. Ready this book because you want to be part of a future where you thrive.
