Book Description

May 1, 2009
"If Lovecraft were around to read Sha'Daa: Tales of the Apocalypse, I think his first reaction would be annoyance ("They're building on my concept"), followed by a giggle or two ("They had a lot of fun doing it,"), and ultimately pride ("They updated it and did it right.") He isn't the only one. I think Edmond Hamilton, Jack Williamson, Clark Ashton Smith, and even Robert Sheckley could see bits of their ideas or approaches here, all filtered through this band of motivated writers, and they would be just as pleased. It's a hell of a book." Mike Resnick author of "Inescapable", (TALES OF THE DYING EARTH )
"Sha'Daa: Tales of the Apocalypse is a wild mix of the Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and end of the world genres that is well worth the time of any Survial fiction fan." Eric S Brown, Author of Season of Rot and Cobble.
The Sha'Daa has its dark, eerie, terrifying roots anchored deep in the soil of fictional horror and mythic apocrypha. The end-of-days is a concept reinvented multiple times by each generation of writers with every new century, and our own 21st is no exception. We offer up this humble tribute to those who came before us.
A gruesome shout out is given for Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Bloch, H.P. Lovecraft, F. Paul Wilson, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Bram Stoker, Charles Dickens, Brian Lumley, Homer, Arthur Conan Doyle, and all the rest who have given us reason to fear the night.
Be warned. The Sha'Daa is coming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seamlessly interwoven storytelling, April 4, 2011
By 
This review is from: Sha'Daa: Tales of the Apocalypse (Paperback)
Sha'Daa has an unusual premise and an even more unusual methodology, in that a variety of writers tackle a shared world, teetering on the edge of disaster. A variety of people showing different sides of the same apocalypical tale is risky but the risk pays off beautifully in this skillfully interwoven anthology. Kudos to the writers, and also to the editors for selecting and sequencing the stories so well. The anthology builds to a climax in a novelistic sense but is still clearly the result of distinctive literary voices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally original anthology, November 28, 2010
This review is from: Sha'Daa: Tales of the Apocalypse (Paperback)
This book is like no other anthology I've read, with several different authors contributing stories centered around a mind-blowing idea from Michael Hanson. The tales run the gamut from straight horror, high-tech sci-fi, and fantastical humor. Like any anthology, some stories are better than others, but when taken as a whole, all the stories tie nicely into one another to reach a very satisfying conclusion.

Stories by Deborah Koren, Wilson "Pete" Marsh, and D.R. MacMaster stand out as exceptional, and the interludes by Hanson himself showcase an imagination and talent well worth the price of the book. Probably the best thing I can say is that this book left me wanting to read more of the Sha'Daa, so luckily for me, there's a sequel already out - Sha'Daa - Last Call.
