The final anthology in The Apocalypse Triptych, The End Has Come, did not disappoint. Some of the stories were continuations of ones which began in the previous two books and some were stand-alone tales. I had to go back and skim the endings of some of the stories in the prior anthology to familiarize myself with the back story of the finales. Stand outs for me were Dancing with a Stranger in the Land of Nod by Will McIntosh, Wandering Star by Leife Shallcross, Resistance by Seanan McGuire, The Gray Sunrise by Jake Kerr, and In The Woods by Hugh Howey. The Howey stories were my favorites in all three books as they were set in the same world as his excellent Silo series (Wool, Shift, Dust). I must say the shocking ending of his short story, In The Woods, in The End Has Come was a kick in the gut for fans of his Silo books.
