What if there were a war after Armageddon? How would the survivors emerging from World War III's radioactive slag heaps fight in this conflict? Would they wage it with sticks and stones. . . and sorcery? Or would they use more refined weapons, elevating lawfare to an art and unleashing bureaucratic nightmares worse than death? Would they struggle against themselves or inter-dimensional invaders? What horrors from the desolate darkness might slither into the light? Wipe away the ashes of civilization and peer into a pit of atomic glass to witness the haunting visions of World War IV from today's greatest minds in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Contributors include: Jonathan Maberry, Steven Barnes, D.J. Butler, Brad R. Torgersen, Martin L. Shoemaker, T.C. McCarthy, Eric James Stone, Stephen Lawson, Freddy Costello, and Michael Z. Williamson. Laird Barron, Nick Mamatas, Brian Trent, Erica L. Satifka, Kevin Andrew Murphy, Maurice Broaddus, and Rodney Carlstrom. David VonAllmen, Deborah A. Wolf, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Julie Frost, Weston Ochse, John Langan. About Weird World War IV: Editor Hazlett follows Weird World War III by looking even further into the future at the war after the next big one. As such, these 21 skirmishes are not straight extrapolations of present-day politics but veer into alternate timelines in which dinosaurs invade to escape their own troubles (Reflections in Lizard-Time by Brian Trent) or artificial intelligences reshape humans into new species suitable for the poisoned Earth (Mea Kaua by Stephen Lawson). Cosmic horrors are summoned by combatants in Deep Trouble by Jonathan Mayberry and beaten back by "elder beasts" from African myths in The Door of Return by Maurice Broaddus and Rodney Carlstrom. Not every story quite fits the theme of a war.
