The Last Man Anthology takes inspiration from Mary Shelley's novel,
The Last Man, and showcases short stories and poems that build on
the theme of finality-of being last. From experiencing the last
snowmelt to taking part of the last day on Earth, The Last Man
Anthology propels catastrophic literature into the twenty-first
century while staying true to Shelley's timeless themes of chaos
and isolation. How would it feel to know you were experiencing your
last day on Earth? What would the end of the world look like to the
Greek gods, the last bookstore owner, or the last philosopher? The
story settings range from the fringes of Outer Space, to the last
museum, to New York City the day before September 11, 2001, to
Brighton Street with the last teddybear, and many more. Includes
veteran writers Ray Bradbury, C. J. Cherryh, Barry N. Malzberg,
along with such classic sci-fi authors as H. G. Wells, Edgar Allen
Poe, and Jack London, and an assortment of contemporary writers
from four continents. We're also honored to have a third grader
make the cut . Catastrophic short stories and poems that deal with
end of the world scenarios, cataclysms, disasters and other
apocalyptic events. "A hauntingly beautiful collection of tales by
new and established authors." www.swordandsagapress.com
