A fresh post-apocalyptic anthology: the end of the world seen through the salvage and ruins. Featuring Emily St John Mandel, Carmen Maria Machado and more.     WHAT WOULD YOU SAVE FROM THE FIRE?  In the moments when it all comes crashing down, what will we value the most, and how will we save it? Digging through the layers of ruined cities beneath your feet, living in the bombed-out husk of a city, hiding from the monsters on the other side of the wall, can we turn the cataclysm into an opportunity?   Featuring new and exclusive stories, as well as classics of the genre, Grassmann takes us through the fall and beyond, to the things that are created after. Calling on the finest traditions of post-apocalyptic fiction, this anthology asks us what makes us human, and who we will be when we emerge out of the ruins?   Featuring work from China Miéville, Emily St John Mandel, Clive Barker, Carmen Maria Machado, Charlie Jane Anders, Samuel R. Delaney, Ramsey Campbell, Lavie Tidhar, Kaaron Warrern, Anna Tambour, Nina Allan, Jeffrey Thomas, Paul Di Filippo, Ron Drummond, Nikhil Singh, John Skipp, Autumn Christian, Chris Kelso, Rumi Kaneko, Nick Mamatas and D.R.G.

As with most anthologies, I found this collection uneven (for my taste). My favorites were A Storm in Kingstown by Nina Allan (a new-to-me author) and Inventory by Carmen Marie Machado. Emily St John Mandel's Mr. Thursday is another bit of her Glass Hotel/Sea of Tranquility world.

Others of these were way to much in the hard science fiction realm for me. If that's what you like, there is something for you here too. ( )

Apocalypse stories from various authors including Samuel Delaney, Charlie Jane Anders, Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, China Miéville, Emily St. John Mandel, and Carmen Maria Machado, with apocalypse defined loosely in some cases. Some of the stories seem cut off, as if the authors wanted to leave you with only an image and uncertainty. Many of the stories circle around the theme of memory: it’s only an apocalypse if you remember a better world. Otherwise it’s just how things are. ( )
