"Welcome to issue forty-seven of Lightspeed! In case you missed the news last month, I just wanted to mention that my new anthology The End is Nigh—is on sale now. It’s the first volume of what I’m calling The Apocalypse Triptych—a series of three anthologies looking at three different modes of apocalyptic fiction: before the apocalypse, during the apocalypse, and after the apocalypse. I’m editing— and publishing—all three volumes of the Triptych in collaboration with bestselling author Hugh Howey. All of the books will all be available in both ebook and print formats, and The End is Nigh is available now. You can get a sneak peek at the anthology in the March issue, with Charlie Jane Anders’s story “Break! Break! Break!”
