Growing up an orphan, Louie had conversations with “invisible friends,” could see patterns in the world that no one else could see. In other times he would have been a prophet – someone to make people believe in the gods. But he grew out of the visions, and then into crime as a drug runner. Now thirty-five and burnt out, he’s had enough. With access to the mob’s money, he plans to go out in a big way. Only he can’t. A broken down car, a missed flight; it’s bad enough being hunted by the mob, but the gods – kicked out of the Heavens, stuck on Earth without worshippers – need someone who can tell their stories, and they aren’t letting him go. And there are new gods on the scene, gods of finance and technology, who want him too. Caught between the mob and two sets of rival gods, Louie hatches a plan that will probably get him killed if it doesn’t get him out.

Who doesn’t love a good apocalyptic story? They come in all kinds, from the nightmare terrors of superflus and zombie invasions to quieter, more reflective tales of loss and survival. Stories that feature people struggling through the end of the world or fighting to survive in what little bits of civilization still remain are always compelling. What better way for readers to safely explore the extremes of the human condition without actually having to fight off the ravening hordes themselves? APOCALYPTIC features stories from fourteen old and new favorite authors: Seanan McGuire, Aimee Picchi, Tanya Huff, Nancy Holzner, Stephen Blackmoore, Zakariah Johnson, Violette Malan, Eleftherios Keramidas, James Enge, Leah Ning, Thomas Vaughn, Marjorie King, Jason Palmatier, and Blake Jessop. Flee the Baboon King, die of thirst in the White Mountains, brew up a bubbling blob of nanotech road kill in the back of a garbage truck, or, worst of all, try to reintegrate yourself back into society as a former zombie. Then ask yourself, would you survive the Apocalypse? Would you even want to?

Apocalyptic

Das Leben von Nekromant Eric Carter läuft nicht gerade optimal. Seine unfreiwillige Heirat mit der Todesgöttin Santa Muerte verändert seine Kräfte. Zwar gelingen ihm einige Zauber jetzt mit einem Fingerschnippen, dafür hört er Stimmen, die er nicht hören sollte. Eric zweifelt an seiner Zurechnungsfähigkeit. Während er nach einem Weg sucht, das Band zwischen ihm und Santa Muerte zu lösen, wird er zur Zielscheibe eines Psychopathen, der das Aussehen und die Erinnerungen von Menschen stiehlt - und sich in ihre Haut kleidet. Erik hat alle Hände voll damit zu tun, seine eigene zu retten ...

Gehässige Geister

Luke Samson survived the apocalypse but when he found faith things really went to Hell. "Join or die." That was Samson's sermon, and he delivered salvation from the business end of a sledgehammer. His army of God-fearing maniacs marches toward Los Angeles and a war that will bring the heathens to their knees. But every war has a secret. And when the truth behind this crusade gets out, Samson will wish he'd never been saved at all.

All Bad Things

Nekromant ist so eine hässliche Bezeichnung, doch Erik Carter wird sie nicht mehr los. Er kann mit den Toten reden und hat diese Fähigkeit in ein lukratives Geschäft verwandelt. Manchmal verhilft er gequälten Seelen zu ihrem Frieden, manchmal sind die Aufträge viel gefährlicher. Den nächsten Fall nimmt er besonders ernst: Carters Schwester wird ermordet, und er will den Schuldigen bezahlen lassen. War es ein Gangster, ein Magier - oder etwas noch viel Schlimmeres?

Tote Dinge

Louie “Fitz” Fitzsimmons is getting out of the drugs business. It was never what you might call a career, anyway; he’s got problems – strange, violent, vivid hallucinations that have plagued him since he was a kid – and what with one thing and another, this is where he’s ended up. So he’s been cooking Hollywood gangster Blake Kaplan’s books, and putting a little aside for a rainy day – fifteen million, give or take – and he figures it’s time to cut and run. Until a vision hits at the worst possible moment, and now he’s in hospital and looking at a stretch in County on a possession charge. Then a Lithuanian goddess of the hunt murders her way into the hospital, and Fitz ends up on the run from a pissed-off angel, and there’s new gods – gods of business and the internet – hunting him down, and what started as a bad day gets a whole lot worse. Because Fitz is a Chronicler, a prophet – a modern Moses or Hesiod – with the power to make, or break, the gods themselves...
