Publisher's Description 
Gripping original stories of dystopian worlds from nine New York Times bestselling authors, edited by Melissa Marr and Kelley Armstrong

The world is gone, destroyed by human, ecological, or supernatural causes. Survivors dodge chemical warfare and cruel gods; they travel the reaches of space and inhabit underground caverns. Their enemies are disease, corrupt corporations, and one another; their resources are few, and their courage is tested.

Powerful original dystopian tales from nine bestselling authors offer bleak insight, prophetic visions, and precious glimmers of light among the shards and ashes of a ruined world.

 
Kelley Armstrong
Rachel Caine
Kami Garcia
Nancy Holder
Melissa Marr
Beth Revis
Veronica Roth
Carrie Ryan
Margaret Stohl


*Why I want to read this: Did you see the list of authors that have stories in this book?  I've read something from all but one (and her book is on my bookshelf TBR) and love them all! - Jessica

  2. Hmmm... I'd say that this sounds more like 'post-apocalyptic' worlds rather than dystopian, but maybe they've been conflated while I wasn't looking? In any case, that's a strong lineup of writers. Nice pick!
