In this eclectic assortment of flash fiction, Bram Stoker Award-winner Norman Prentiss concocts a different end-of-the-world scenario for each calendar day. The stories range from humorous to bizarre to unsettling, commemorating holiday and observance days (New Year's or Valentine's Day, National Pig Day), famous birthdays (Robert Frost, Charles Dickens), or notable historical events (the first computer...and the first computer virus; the sinking of the Titanic or the Great Chicago Fire). Other daily entries include a riff on the first (and only) golf game on the moon; The Milking of Elm Farm Ollie, which reinvigorates an in-flight publicity stunt by adding apocalyptic results; and occasional letters from the sardonic Dear Apocalypse advice column. A handful of longer, serialized stories include: The Hell of Food That Looks Like Other Food, The Exterminator's Visit, and The Child Who Ended the World.
