Genre: Literary Fiction / Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction / Speculative Fiction
Recommended Age: Adult

What happens when the world ends—and no one can explain why?

In the aftermath of an unexplained catastrophe, civilization is crumbling. Governments barely function, unfamiliar creatures fill the seas, and an entire continent has mysteriously disappeared. Yet the precise nature of the crisis remains unknown. Phillip Tennent makes his living collecting unusual artifacts washed ashore along the Channel, until he discovers something unlike anything he has encountered before: a creature that constantly changes and possesses the power to unravel everything he believes about the world. Forced to carry this mysterious discovery inland, Phillip embarks on a journey into an increasingly unstable reality.

Darkly satirical, unsettling, and unexpectedly humorous, The End of Everything is a haunting exploration of humanity's struggle to understand a world beyond its control. Blending apocalyptic fiction with philosophical intrigue, M. John Harrison challenges our assumptions about reality, knowledge, and what it means to be human when the familiar world begins to disappear.
