A is for Apocalypse by Rhonda Parrish
4.0
Having been at the book launch for D is for Dinosaur (book 4 of the series), I was quite intrigued by the idea behind this anthology series. And I was not disappointed. The main idea was vague enough to allow for a HUGE variety in tone and content which allowed me to get much more invested in the volume than many of the other anthologies I've read recently.
I will say a though you should be in a good headspace when you read this, as if you are like me you'll start thinking about how you'd deal with the end of the world. Thinking like that can go in dark and strange places.
The Stories that stuck with me
I - Kenneth Schneyer - I loved this take on the idea of long life. It went in a direction I've never seen or considered before, giving me a lot to think about
K - Gary B. Phillips - I am a sucker for stories told using alternate frameworks. This story utilized its unconventional format in a way that truly strengthened the story and ideas they were putting forward
W - Lilah Wild - I think I connected with this story the most, reading through created intense visuals that captured my attention and had me heavily invested in the fate of the characters.
Would recommend 100% and am looking forward to diving into the other volumes of the series
