Book Summary:
Words cannot express how badly I needed this anthology in my life. Apocalypse Scenarios: These are the Ways the World Ends by Mira Grant collects some of the great work (in my mind) written by Mira Grant – aka Seanan McGuire.
Included in this anthology, readers will find an Introduction, Final Girls, Apocalypse Scenario #693: The Box, Kingdom of Needle and Bone, The Happiest Place, In the Shadow of Spindrift House, and Rolling in the Deep.
My Review:
Okay, so I knew right from the start that I would have to nab Apocalypse Scenarios. It felt like my only chance to ever own a print copy of Rolling in the Deep (sorry to be the bearer of bad news if you didn't already know that factoid). Throw in the other stories? All sorts of sold.
In truth, The Happiest Place is the only story in this collection I hadn't read previously. So that one hit the hardest, in the way. I did enjoy re-reading everything else though – Rolling in the Deep and Kingdom of Needle and Bone are two of my favorite horror stories.
You can read my full reviews on each here:
Final Girls | Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box | Kingdom of Needle and Bone | In the Shadow of Spindrift House | Rolling in the Deep
Highlights:

I'd read all but one of these novellas and stories, sometimes because of library books. They were all even better with a second (or third, in one case) read. A great chance to get a hard copy of books I have no other chance of owning!
