It's back! And it's bigger and better than ever - literally!

It's been over a year since we left Tamsyn in After the World: Gravesend and things aren't getting any better for anyone. Fewer people and more zombies isn't really going to make anyone happy.

In Pack Rules, Jason Franks (Kagemono, The Sixsmiths, McBlack) takes a completely new cast and tells a chilling story about the end of the world in the arts end of the world - Melbourne. It wasn't like this for Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire (look it up people!). 

And in a massive change to the format of the books, After the World has gone from a single story book to an anthology of some of the best horror and sci-fi this side of...that thing over there. 

More - we've doubled the size which means we've got more room for more works from more new and established writers working in speculative fiction. More I tell you!

Heading up matters is B. Michael Radburn (The Crossing) with Indian Summer, a tale of a bike that likes to be ridden; The Rule of Three by Pete Kempshall, a story about a man alone in space, driven to desperate acts; Nothing Goes to Waste by Raymond Gates, a chilling story about how far you would go for your family; Thirty Seconds by Eugene Gramelis, a tale of science and revenge for all the right reasons; The Hobart Town Whisperer by Clinton Green, about  the way a town can be haunted; and shortieA Clockwork Arthur by Black House favourite Jason Fischer and I can't even tell you what that one's about - I think it's something to do with elephants.

With brand new cover art from Jason Paulos and a pinup from... Jason Paulos, it's one good looking book. The back cover is by Jason too.

And let's not forget it took three Jasons to get this much awesome together so it has to be rockin'.
