The End of Days: An Apocalyptic Anthology

A project of Living Dead Press (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive.

About

What we want: Original stories about the end of the world. Famines, floods, meteorites, plagues (no zombies), viruses that wipe out humanity and only a few survive. I think you get the idea. The stories need to be naturalistic, no ghosts or supernatural. Just people dealing with their new life and struggling to survive in a devastated world.
