The voice which came back through a clamour of noise greater than any before was that of a a stranger; it was hysterical, raging futily into the void. "The sun's blown up!"
Join humanity on the brink of destruction in thirteen doom-laden tales exploring our fixation with how and whe our end will come, selected from the SF magazines and rare literary journals of the Britihs Library collection.
Illustrating the whole gamut of apocalyptic fiction from cosmic calamities to self-inflicted nuclear annihilation, this explosive new selection also includes accounts of post-apocalyptic worlds from the specultative warnings of the 1890s to Ray Bradbury's poignant vision of a silent planet after the last echoes of humanity have died away.
Mike Ashley is the author and editor of more than one hundred books, and is one of the foremost historians of popular fictio. His British Library Science Fiction Classics anthologies include Moonrise: The Golden Age of the Lunar Adventures and Menace of the Machine: The Rise of AI in Classics Science Fiction.
