Apocalypse Chronicles features the following stories:
The Rosebud by Paul Dawson
In the absence of light and electricity, the world has suddenly fallen to darkness. Not even the stars or the moon can be seen in the sky from the top of an office building. Harry has to decide whether to stay put with his fellow colleagues, or to follow Jacob into the unknown.
The Library by Adam Kirton
An ancient relic living in a bleak future, the Librarian, a grizzled suvivalist, must tend to his dying brother and his precious collection, fending off the horrors of the Wilds and the Old City.
Hope by Lydia Sherrer
A dark fantasy slant on a post-apocalyptic future where the rules of the jungle are truly “eat or be eaten”.
What Remains by Joanne Marjoribanks
Hours before the world is consumed by nuclear warfare, a young woman returns to a cherished place of her childhood and finds an unlikely companion.
Evlyn by Kevin Horsley
Twenty five years after a war that has devastated the human population, one young woman, having grown up in its wake fighting for survival, needs to find hope of a future or at least something to live for.
Crossing by Benjamin Abbott
A veteran survivor of the evacuation of Europe recounts one of his toughest days to a young interviewer.
Bring-your-kid-to-work Day by David J. Wing
When you choose to take your kid to work, it's best if he's not a little pain in the neck and you don't work at a nuclear missile silo.
Unearthed by Ben Wilmshurst
The final recorded messages from the International Space Station as Commander Michael King witnesses the destruction of humanity.
