After the Plague

In his sixth collection of short stories, Boyle presents a series of wickedly ironic, sometimes poignant, sometimes darkly humorous tales that speak directly to the human condition and to a variety of contemporary social issues from abortion to Internet voyeur cams, from railway killers to air rage. The collection ends with the brilliant title story, a whimsical and imaginative vision of a disease ravaged Earth. Presented with characteristic wit and intelligence, these stories will delight readers in search of the latest news of the chaotic, disturbing, and achingly beautiful world in which we live.
