From New York Times-Bestselling writer Tim Lebbon come three short stories of the end of times. In The Dust –– hiding from the zombie apocalypse is no guarantee of safety. Hell Came Down –– a rainmaker determined to help a drought-stricken land brings down more than rain. Strings –– a scientific experiment to improve humanity goes horribly wrong. “Tim Lebbon displays the sort of cool irony and uncanny mood-making that drive the best ''Twilight Zone'' stories.” – New York Times Book Review ”One of the most powerful new voices to come along in the genre ... Lebbon's work ... is infused with the contemporary realism of Stephen King and ... the lyricism of Ray Bradbury." – Fangoria
