The world has ended. It was an act of bio-terrorism gone horribly wrong: A drug resistant version of the Black Death, an airborne mutation of the Ebola virus and the "Super Flu" were let loose on the world. Barely anyone survived. A year before the collapse, Grants Pass, Oregon, USA, was labelled as a place of meeting and sanctuary in a whimsical online, "what if" post. Now, it has become one of the last known refuges, and the hope, of mankind. Would you go to Grants Pass based on the words of someone you've never met?… (más)
A very well done anthology of stories about a modern apocalypse and the fabled safe haven of Grants Pass, Oregon. The world falls apart due to bioengineered plagues and the chaos that ensues from them. The stories here, like many anthologies, vary in terms of their ability to grab each reader, but they're all well written even if they're not one's cup of tea. Stories that stood out in my mind as the best or most intriguing were "Animal Husbandry" by Seanan McGuire; "Chateau de Mons" by Jennifer Brozek; "A Perfect Night to Watch Detroit Burn" by Ed Greenwood; "Final Edition" by Jeff Parish; and "Black Heart, White Mourning" by Jay Lake.
And to answer the leading question of the anthology, yes, I'd go to Grants Pass. Hope is one of the things that keeps us going when everything else demands we give up.
[Note--I read this in PDF format before the book's release, but I'll be looking to get a copy soon to put on the shelf.:] ( )
