Táto séria sa ponorí do temných vízií konca sveta, skúmajúc pustatiny zničené katastrofou a ľudské boje o prežitie. Odhaľuje, čo znamená zostať človekom tvárou v tvár skaze a chaosu. So zbierkami od popredných autorov špekulatívnej fikcie sa táto zbierka zaoberá vedeckými, psychologickými a filozofickými otázkami apokalypsy. Je to fascinujúci pohľad na našu vlastnú krehkosť a odolnosť.
