Overview
TALES OF THE WAR BEYOND THE NEXT
What if there were a war after Armageddon? How would the survivors emerging from World War IIIās radioactive slag heaps fight in this conflict? Would they wage it with sticks and stones . . . and sorcery? Or would they use more refined weapons, elevating lawfare to an art and unleashing bureaucratic nightmares worse than death? Would they struggle against themselves or inter-dimensional invaders? What horrors from the desolate darkness might slither into the light? Wipe away the ashes of civilization and peer into a pit of atomic glass to witness the haunting visions of World War IV from todayās greatest minds in science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

Praise forĀ Weird World War IV:
"Hazlett followsĀ Weird World War IIIĀ by looking even further into the future at the war after the next big one... the sheer weirdness of many of these pieces is a testament to the genreās creativity and verve."Ā āPublishers Weekly
"Stories in this anthology range from dystopian in nature to hard-core sci-fi... With the diversity of authors in this collection, the stories cover a wide range of genres, viewpoints, and styles. This book has it all... There is a short story for just about any type of audience. Come take a look at the absurdity of future wars."Ā āManhattan Book Review
"Although this might seem to be a limited theme, the various authors have risen to the challenge, and produced a wide variety of fiction incorporating science fiction and fantasy concepts into tales of struggles that do not always take place on battlefields." āTangent Online
"This book raises questions about who has access to what technology and to what ends that technology is used. In some of these stories, there is a philosophical core that makes the heart-thumping action all the more meaningful... Much like the previous anthology, I enjoyed it quite a lot."āNever Was Magazine
Praise for Weird World War III:
"Weird World War III stokes our collective fears with tales of worst-case scenario nightmares by some of the best writers in the business."āThis Is Horror UK

"A collection that runs the gamut in terms of what it does with the premise."āSea Lion Press
"Weird World War III is a buffet of war-related speculative fiction, guaranteed to entertain anyone who likes destroying humanity. Who would have known that blasting this species to Kingdom Come could be so fun?"āNever Was Magazine
