Ring around the rosie, Pocket full a' posies, Ashes, Ashes We all fell down. --- The World was vibrant once. It was a thing of so much beauty, the Earth, that some beloved men and women would spend the liveliest days of their youths trying to capture just a piece of its majesty with paints and inks and film. It was a place of wondrous music; there were beasts and birds who howled, cooed, and called, who sang their songs beneath the silver-white still of a luminous moon. It was a place of grandmother-bakers and the decadent spells they wove with their confectionery magics for their children, and their children's children. It was a place of life, and of love. And it was magnificent. But all things must come to an end, and so it did. That world, the World That Was, died in a blaze that burnt the black from the dirt and bleached the sky as white as the so-clean bones beneath it. And when that world fell, its rules and its laws were overthrown too – the governance of Father Time and Mother Nature lies amongst the ashes at the feet of what remains. And what does remain? An unruly place, an impossible place where the dead might walk and their spirits may speak. A hard place of savagery, of unrest, of avarice; a place where murderers and scavengers make their homes. A place of mysticism and ruin, of superstition and predation. A twisted place. An ugly place. The World That Is. These are the stories of its victims and its champions - the survivors, the scroungers, the killers and the dreamers. --- Who: Sister, Chess, Treble, and a cast of characters across 9 short stories+*. What: An ambient collection of post-apocalyptic shorts. Add equal parts desperation, dying, and poetry to 2 parts sand. Shake well. Where: The World That Is, an unforgiving setting of blasted and wasting landscapes, unexplainable phenomena, and unfettered human squalor. Why: Well, why not? When: Now. How: Take the plunge and hand over your dollars! Any other questions? (*Secret bonus content?!) Cover art by Cassi Wilson.

About the Author Here's my go-to "About the Author biography" for the basics: "Adam Wassil currently lives in the Memphis, TN area. He moved down south to be nearer to his parents in mid-2013 after graduating from Brandeis University with a Master of Arts in Cultural Anthropology. A more-or-less native of Northern Michigan (Northern Lower Peninsula, sorry Yoopers), he'd previously attended Central Michigan University, where he received Bachelors of Science degrees in both History and Anthropology. At the moment, he is employed in the Loss Prevention/Asset Protection field. In his free time, Adam is an avid videogamer and tabletop roleplayer, though he does enjoy the developmental process of gaming as well. As you'd expect, he also spends a fair bit of time reading and writing, both prose and poetry. When he's not gaming or playing with words, though, you can be sure that he's spending time with his girlfriend, Vernae. Thanks for your patience through this whole process, sweetie pie." The other important stuff: I like pizza, cheesecake, and sushi, but probably not all at the same time. I'm a Libra, I don't like football, and I'm really not a huge fan of crowds, either. I'm primarily a social gamer, so the PC is my platform of choice, and as far as tabletop games go, I'll play just about anything. No LARPs though, thanks. My favorite books are Stephen King's Dark Tower series, my favorite comics are Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, my favorite Playstation games are the Demons/Dark Souls series, my favorite PC game is probably League of Legends right now, and my favorite color is purple. Yeah, that's all the important stuff.

An Excellent Read, To Yourself or to Someone Else By Amazon Customer I have been a life-long fan of science fiction and dystopian literature, and I am exceedingly pleased to add Ashes to Ashes to my permanent collection. There are a great many new writers out there working in this genre and I think Adam Wassil is going to be one to watch. This work follows a number of interesting narrative threads that, regardless of where their themes take us, signify a distinct love of storytelling that is probably one of this book's many strengths. The characters are complex and interesting to follow, and whose depth and detail are adjusted according to the needs of the story so that the world that is can act as a compelling meta-commentary on the world that was without piling on too many additional side quests that would make the story lose focus. In many places, the writing style of Ashes to Ashes reminded me of old oral-storytelling traditions and some of the conventions occasionally took on a narrative quality much like that someone relaying a memory more than crafting fiction. I recommend this work for anyone who has interests not only in science fiction and post-apocalyptic literature, but anyone just looking for a good read.

His characters, with all their human flaws, are engaging and solid - variously inspiring sympathy or horror as they navigate the wasted World That Is. Wassil's writing is crisp and sensory: in places, it virtually crackles off the page. But perhaps my favorite element here is the composition of this work as a set of interwoven stories told from different perspectives, leaving the reader to fill in and imagine the non-written parts of the story-line. I'll be reading this book again, and looking forward to more from this author!

Not only does the book play with (and pulls off) structure, but also with the language of its characters. Like most of the book it is oddly familiar but strangely different from the lives we live today. It's one of those phonebooks you can read ones for entertainment, but go back over it several times and peel back the layers. Highly recommend this book.
