It’s the end of the world. Do you have the will to survive?
NOTE: THE WILL TO SURVIVE is a collective effort by a great group of authors, born from the desire to help their fellow citizens suffering the devastating effects of multiple hurricanes. 100% of proceeds are being donated to two charities, One America Appeal and Global Giving Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.
Twenty-two stories of tragedy, hope, and survival in one volume.
The Will To Survive, edited by Felicia A. Sullivan is a fantastic way to sample some of the best authors in apocalyptic fiction, as well as contributing to two different charities:
ALL THE OPTIMISM OF HAMLET by M.L. Katz centers on two neighbors (one inspired by the editor) desperately trying to stay afloat.
CODE EMP by M.P. McDonald features a family who happen to be in the right place at the right time, under some frightening circumstances.
THE SHIMMERS by Kelly Hudson is a terrifying mix of horror, science fiction and drama; one of my favorites.
THE WORST CASE SCENARIO by C.A. Rudolph is the dragged out thoughts of a prepper, more setup than story.
PHASE 6 by A.J. Norris features a mother determined to rescue her daughter; action-packed.
DOUBLE OR NOTHING by Clabe R. Polk is a fantastic behind-the-scenes natural disaster story and another one of my favorites.
WOOLY by Shane Gregory is an extremely bizarre science fiction story with a fascinating ending.
BROTHERS BY DUST by Timothy Johnson is an excellent post-apocalyptic story about a boy and his dog.
THE COLLECTIVE by Patrick D'Orazio is a science fiction story which would impress Ray Bradbury.
THE LAST CHARTER by Steven Bird is a teaser; the author created a great intro for a full-length thriller. *hint, hint*
THE SPREAD by Sean Schubert is a short story which takes place in the Alaskan Undead Apocalypse universe.
FRACTURED HOPE by Chris Pike is a tragic coming of age.
RUSTY'S RUN by Nick DeWolf is told from the POV of a dog and had me bawling for most of the story; highly recommended for dog lovers.
INTO THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW by Sean T Smith is a story about a man determined to fight for his family, until his last breath.
ABOVE THE LINE by Josh Hilden is another fantastic post-apocalyptic tale...I think the premise would make a great movie.
MAKE MY DAY by Mike Sheridan is an absolutely delightful story about a change of heart.
REPLICA by Stephen A North is a devastating sci-fi dystopian future; well-written.
SHOWDOWN AT RIG CITY by Jamie Mason is another dystopian story full of suspense.
THESE THINGS THE KITTEN SAID by D.J. Goodman is a beautifully-written apocalyptic fairy tale...the ending made me cry a little.
A SINGLE STONE by Joshua Guess centers on a handicapped man fighting to stay alive.
THE ANGEL OF LAFAYETTE by Jonathan Yanez is one of the most unusual stories in this collection; I want a Dread t-shirt.
LAST BUS OUT by Brad Munson is the most horrific story in the collection...kind of like something H.P. Lovecraft would write.
This is one hell of a collection, with some of the best authors in genre fiction, for a great price and TWO wonderful charities. Buy your copy today!
As always,
