In the spirit of
THE TWILIGHT ZONE
,
BLACK MIRROR
, and
TALES FROM THE CRYPT
, cult author David Moody presents eleven disturbing science-fiction, horror, thriller and suspense stories about life, death, and everything in between (and after).
What's the ultimate body modification? Are the people next door as perfect as they appear? How dead is dead? What's the true price of a clean start? What's the motive of the monster that's destroying your town? How are you going to spend the last three days before the end of the world?
From the never-ending nightmare of domestic bliss to the search for the perfect body; from messed up families to warring nations; from the last minutes before doomsday to the polluted shores of the post-post-apocalypse;
THE LAST BIG THING
shows how thin the line between the ordinary and extraordinary truly can be.
