A myriad of extinction events large and small have ruptured the history of the earth, and so it is with the women of this book, who struggle to define themselves amid their own personal cataclysms and those igniting the world around them. They are a mother watching the islands of the world disappear one by one, a new bride using alien abduction to get closer to her estranged parent, a daughter searching for her mother among the lost cities of the world, a sister trying and failing to protect her mythical continent-obsessed brother. Here extinction events come in all sizes and shapes: as volcanic eruptions and devastating plagues and meteor impacts, as estrangements and betrayals and losses. Dark, angry, and apocalyptic, Extinction Events is a compendium of all the ways in which life can be annihilated. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Human beings|xEffect of environment on|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85080298|vFiction.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 0 Extinction (Biology)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85046568|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 7 Human beings|xEffect of environment on.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/962843 650 7 Extinction (Biology)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 918969 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 Short stories.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1726740 655 7 Short stories.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026542 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBreazeale, Liz.|sShort stories.
