Something Like the End

By Ashley Morrow Hermsmeier

Winner of the Fall 2017 Black River Chapbook Competition

Laced with foreboding and propulsive menace, Ashley Morrow Hermsmeier' s new collection of short fiction reverberates with the clang of alarm bells. Confronted by inescapable dark in the face of a certain end or its apocalyptic aftermath, the characters in these six stories must come to terms with the lonely, inevitable questions that surround something as small and powerful as death, as big and catastrophic as the end of the world. Grim and haunting in one turn, uncanny and wildly strange in the next, Something Like the End asks us to look long and hard into the darkness-and then dive in.
