THIS WAY TO THE END TIMES: Classic Tales of the Apocalypse (978-1-941110-47-8, 468 pages, October 31, 2016) gathers twenty-one gripping stories about the not-too-distant demise of the earth as we know it, under the helm of editor Robert Silverberg, one of science-fiction’s most beloved writers.

And what a collection! From rare classic tales by science-fiction legends Jules Vernes and Olaf Stapledon, intense works by Grand Masters Connie Willis, Jack Vance, Ursula K. Le Guin and Brian W. Aldiss, to haunting stories by cult icons James Tiptree Jr. and Fritz Leiber, complemented by sensational tales from contemporary authors Dale Bailey, Karen Haber, Alvaro Zinos-Amaro, and Megan Arkenberg, THIS WAY TO THE END TIMES paves the road to the fantastical future, alternating humor with grit, and hope with ghastly post-apocalyptic visions. As Kirkus Reviews raves, “The variety of ways in which these stories choose to end the world offers a great deal—nightmarish, funny, lonely, or hopeful—for the imagination. Wonderfully written, surprisingly varied apocalyptic tales.”

Editor ROBERT SILVERBERG hand-picked each piece in the collection and includes an introduction to each story, detailing reasons for its selection and offering insight into its position in the history of apocalyptic literature. The collection includes two of Silverberg’s own stories, as well as his insightful introduction detailing the history of apocalyptic tales, from ancient times through the present.

A must-read for classic sci-fi fans as well as fans of zombie, end times, and fantasy tales, THIS WAY TO THE END TIMES captures the best work of masters of the genre in an annotated collection sure to become a classic of its own.
