Recensione:

Praise for John Joseph Adams: Winner of the 2014 Hugo Award (eight time nominee) World Fantasy Award nominee (six times) For Lightspeed: Year One: "Lightspeed editor Adams provides an outstanding print anthology of stories collected during the online SF magazine's first year. These stories make it clear why Adams and the magazine have already separately been nominated for Hugo awards. . . Years of work on F&SF and numerous lauded reprint anthologies have clearly honed Adams's talents and prepared him to be a major force in the field." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) For The End is Nigh: "Adams and Howey are a two-man tour-de-force of post-apocalyptic lit. ... Ultimately, the best thing about The End Is Nigh is how elegantly it balances on the thin line between beauty and devastation. There's no story in the book that didn't break my heart at least a little, and there's none of the twenty-two that hasn't stuck with me, hard." --Wired For Wastelands: "A well-chosen selection of well-crafted stories, offering something to please nearly every postapocalyptic palate."—Booklist
