THE FALL: TALES FROM THE APOCALYPSE ed. by Matt Sinclair_Review


Review of The Fall: Tales from the Apocalypse
Edited by Matt Sinclair
5 stars

I was relieved while reading this to be reminded that “Apocalypse” as a term, is not inclusive only of Zombiefication, plague, and mutant virus. No, indeed: there are other means of reaching The End of The World, or alternatively The End of Civilization As We Know It. Plenty of those possibilities are delectably presented here. I myself am quite fond of the first story, “Trust,” whose complete irony simply turns me inside out, and has cemented its niche in my “reader’s mind.” Every reader will find something to apocalpytically dwell on in this anthology.
