Fragments of America: Short Stories of the Apocalypse

Sleazy lawyers grab their AR-15s and stand tall for their mistresses. Children become warriors. High school losers transform into comic book vigilantes. Old men pop ibuprofen and charge into battle to protect their wives. During the seventeen days of the best-selling Black Autumn series, eleven authors present sojourns into the maw of mayhem as it catches spoiled Americans flat-footed and running for their lives. The worn denim storylines of cowboy westerns and the steel and leather fantasies of apocalyptica cannot come close to this down-and-dirty vision of everyday men and women digging soul-deep while America burns.
