I got this through LibraryThing Member Giveaway and enjoyed it very much. I am sorry to say I am late with my review of this collection due to unexpected life circumstances, but here it is.
There are many fine stories in this volume but I will mention a couple of my favorites. "The Greening of Bushton" outlines how new inventions/discoveries can negatively impact us. The other is "Occupied". This is about a woman trapped by a predator and her fight to survive. And misplaced trust.
I recommend this collection to anyone who likes twisted stories ala Twilight Zone. ( )

Short stories that have to do with the apocalypse and just plain creepy. My favorite would have to be "The Calendar In The Break Room" Can this calendar really predict one's death? "Last Seat On The Rapture Express" with people flying off the train if you didn't have a ticket was good but it was the ending that got me. If you like these kind of stories then you will enjoy this book. I won this from LibraryThing Member Giveaway and I recommend this book. ( )

The first few stories could use a touch of polish editing to clean up extra commas or things like characters inconsistently using regional accents. However, once about halfway in you are able to get to the really good ones, and they are well worth the wait. The pure gore factor of some of the stories are just what the doctor ordered for dark scifi/horror fans. ( )

I was lucky enough to win an e-copy of More Bedtime Stories for the Apocalypse in a Librarything Giveaway.

Short stories are really not usually my thing; I enjoy nothing more than settling down and immersing myself in a good, long novel. However, apocalypse (in most shapes or forms) is a story element that I particularly love, so I decided to give these short stories a go – I’m most glad that I did.

My usual problem with short stories is that I find they do not give enough detail to set a scene for me to envision; possibly because of the subject matter, I felt that this did not impact on these short stories, as although they were atypically devoid of scene-setting, my thorough exploration of apocalypse-fiction enabled me to fill in these details in my mind with very little effort.

I really enjoyed the way that they were written – short, sharp and snappy, with just enough tension that built up to a climatic ending that left you reeling, indeed I had to think about the ending and its consequences for a few moments after I had read each one. Unfortunately, some of the later stories in the collection did bear mistakes (tenses became mixed up), but not as many as you would usually find in most self-published works. I couldn’t say a lot for characterisation, for obvious reasons, as there was not enough time within each tale for this to be built up. Some stories were grim, some stories were eerie; all were well thought out and none disappointed me, even if I hadn’t fully understood quite what was going on.

Overall, a very good collection of stories that I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys a bit of an apocalypse and all manner of creepy or eerie things that might accompany it! ( )
