Horrors of the Deep

After solar flares have burned away the framework of society, how long can humanity last? In a post-apocalyptic world on fire, a patchwork settlement in Vermont is the last oasis outside of hell. Eleven writers explore this ragged setting and the wild, unforgettable cast of characters who reside within its borders, weaving tales of adventure, survival, deceit, and intrigue that combine genres and styles to create a thrilling shared universe. Welcome to Barning, Vermont, where there are only two rules: fear the sun and trust no one.

After the Burn

Sometimes even heroes die. In a world where only teens gain superpowers, The Superiors Squad assembles to keep the peace. But the world is upended when their inspirational leader, Nolan Walker, falls in battle against a robotic foe. Leaders keep the death secret from the public and the rest of the team. Without Nolan's strength and guidance, the world faces the threat of falling into chaos, with teen battling teen for power. Desperate scientists leap to another dimension to retrieve that world's Nolan Walker. The only problem? He is a geek. All this Nolan wants to do is play video games, ride his skateboard, and spend time with his neighborhood crush, Alden. Nolan denies their plea to join them, intent on spending time with his mother, who battles cancer. The scientists offer her a cure if Nolan joins them. Nolan agrees and soon finds himself in another world wearing the outfit of that world's greatest superhero. Except he has no powers. Can a much different Nolan fill the inspirational shoes of his predecessor? Can he stay alive long enough to find that world's Alden? And can he live in a world that does not know what a skateboard is? Join Nolan Walker on an epic superhero adventure filled with punches to the guts and the heart.
