Her reviews are worth the trouble!

I’m thrilled that more people are familiar with Ms Tamales. She has an exciting style. Ms Kyle is able to make Eric’s narratives come to life.

Enjoyable and Diverse Stories

I've read/ listened to all the books in the anthology and can appreciate this one because it's original stories, and a diverse collection of stories from a diverse section of American sci-fi authors. There were a few stories that lost my interest unlike the other two volumes but instead of skipping them I opted to listening to them. Overall the book was enjoyable and I loved the fact that I was putting my mind to work by imagining the stories playing out in my head.

l liked it

I enjoyed this audiobook, all kinds of wasteland stories. Sadly, some read politics into everything but don't let it put you off. Some good stories here.

Great Narrators!

I love post-apocalyptic stories, but reading about pandemics in 2021? 😦 Still love this collection!

Not what J expected

it wasn't as doom and gloom as I expected, looking forward to followup stories on a few. A few were actually very funny given the content.
