Table of Contents: THE END IS NIGH Edited by John Joseph Adams
Here is the table of contents for the upcoming (June 2014) John Joseph Adams pre-apocalyptic anthology The End is Nigh, the first book of The Apocalypse Triptych.
Here’s the description:
Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm. But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH will tell their stories. Edited by acclaimed anthologist John Joseph Adams and bestselling author Hugh Howey, THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH is a series of three anthologies of apocalyptic fiction. THE END IS NIGH focuses on life before the apocalypse. THE END IS NOW turns its attention to life during the apocalypse. And THE END HAS COME focuses on life after the apocalypse.

John Joseph Adams’ collections always make me take note. He’s one of the best anthologists we have.
Agreed. And multiple ones every year, too!
