Imagine the world has ended, that all but a small portion of Earth's population has been wiped out.
You have never had time to find out why.
Your energy is spent on surviving – skewed weather patterns, crumbling buildings, starving creatures, and humans mercilessly hunting their own kind. You left the confines of your home long ago, alone, searching for remaining shreds of humanity.
Then, one day, you finally stumble upon a small group of survivors who wish you no harm. They have something to share with you. Something to help you survive. Stories, modern fables, of how to avoid the nightmares you hadn't even considered.
These stories and more, from across the world, are collected within these pages, told by survivors just like you, to help with ‘Surviving the End'.
