What's Left Behind

<p>The end can come in many forms. A super-volcanic eruption. An existence dictated by lines of code. An inescapable plague. But within each ending there are also stories of survival. A woman desperate to help those she cares about no matter the cost. A brilliant man searching for his purpose after losing what he loves most. A teenager who's determined to find the perfect Christmas gift for his girlfriend even if it means facing his undead ex. </p><p>In every ending there is something lost. But there are also fragments of humanity left behind. And with enough time the stories those pieces tell-some hopeful some heartbreaking-may just show us how to start again.</p><p><strong>For those who loved Alexander Weinstein's </strong><em><strong>Children of the New World</strong></em><strong> and </strong><em><strong>The Last of Us</strong></em><strong> Nicole A. Schroeder's young adult post-apocalypse/dystopian short story collection is a page-turning trek through the end of the world-and into the one that comes after. </strong></p>
