Mother Earth has been suffering--acid rain, toxic waste, polluted air, poisoned water, and a depleted ozone layer are the most obvious signs of mankind's ingratitude to the planet. In this book, 20 writers of fantastic fiction have contributed dark tales focusing on ecological terror and suspense.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Worried that this collection of "ecological horror stories" might be didactic, politically correct and just plain boring? Fear not. After you read 10 pages, the anthology is hard to put down. Whether telling the story of a future plague, of a toxic disaster or of the next evolutionary stage, the authors manage to be compelling. Almost every story is pleasantly creepy, and the ones that aren't are sardonic, gory or disturbing. Mother Nature in this collection is no helpless babe. Instead, she responds to human abuses with a left hook that would do Mike Tyson proud. The result is an anthology that is occasionally preachy but, more often, fantastic. Let's just hope it's printed on recycled paper.

Uneven collection short ecological horror stories,

This review is from: The Earth Strikes Back: An Anthology of Ecological Horror (Paperback)
"Earth Strikes Back" is a colection of short horror fiction stories that vary widely in quality. My favorite is "I Remember Me," a chilling tale that envisions the end of the world in the form of a disease that slowly robs every human being of his or her memory. This is a good read for those who like horror fiction.
