Lovecraft $g [1920]. 520 $a A century-and-more ago, while some people pondered the pinnacle that civilization had attained, others worried how it would come crashing down. Many of the era's best writers gave shape to those fears in wildly speculative stories that envisioned unthinkable fates and spectacular dooms for our planet and its people. The End of the World collects twenty-one classic stories and poems from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in which the Earth's end times erupt in fire, frost, flood, famine-and worse. Dramatic, tragic, exhilarating, and transcendent, the provocative stories in this volume offer thrilling accounts of global catastrophes, natural disasters, science run amok, and shocking cataclysms as only the most imaginative writers could conceive. 650 0 $a Science fiction. 650 0 $a End of the world $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Science fiction, American. 650 0 $a Science fiction, English. 650 0 $a Science fiction, Canadian. 650 6 $a Fin du monde $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Science-fiction canadienne. 650 7 $a End of the world. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909634 650 7 $a Science fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108566 650 7 $a Science fiction, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108635 650 7 $a Science fiction, Canadian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108656 650 7 $a Science fiction, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108670 653 $a Science fiction, Classic 653 $a Science fiction, Collections 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726489 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Trombley, Michele. 700 1 $a Byron, George Gordon Byron, $c Baron, $d 1788-1824. 700 1 $a Austin, S. $c Jr. 700 1 $a Poe, Edgar Allan, $d 1809-1849. 700 1 $a Hawthorne, Nathaniel, $d 1804-1864. 700 1 $a Milne, Robert Duncan, $d 1844-1899. 700 1 $a Bierce, Ambrose, $d 1842-1914? 700 1 $a Cromie, Robert, $d 1856-1907. 700 1 $a Wells, H.
