Summary:
"In
Has
the
World
Ended
Yet
? we start with retired superheroes living in a soulless suburbia where everyone gets lost trying to get home. Then the angels start to fall from the sky. Is it Armageddon? And do we want the
world
to end or not? In a series of linked short
stories
Peter Darbyshire weaves together superheroes, ghosts, the undead, a hired hitman, the Cold War, the Rapture and avenging angels in a Twilight Zone-style collection that is riveting and human. We follow characters that are identifiable through situations that are unreal, through a technicolour landscape we are all familiar with. The end of the
world
is not what we expect, what any of Darbyshire's characters expect and may not really be happening at all. But should it?"--From publisher.
