From Trumpocalypse to Brexit Britain, brick by brick the walls are closing in. But don’t despair. Bulldoze the borders. Conquer freedom not fear. EXIT EARTH explores all life – past, present, or future – on, or off – this beautiful, yet fragile, world of ours. Final embraces beneath a sky of flames. Tears of joy aboard a sinking ship. Laughter in a lonely land. Dystopian or utopian, realist or fantasy, horror or sci-fi, EXIT EARTH is yours to conquer. EXIT EARTH includes the short fiction of all fourteen finalists from the STORGY EXIT EARTH Short Story Competition, as judged by critically acclaimed author Diane Cook (Man vs. Nature). EXIT EARTH EXTRA contains additional stories by award winning authors M R Cary (The Girl With All The Gifts), Toby Litt (Corpsing), James Miller (Lost Boys), Courttia Newland (A Book of Blues), and David James Poissant (The Heaven of Animals), in addition to stories by Tomek Dzido, Ross Jeffery, Alice Kouzmenko, Tabitha Potts, and Anthony Self. With exclusive artwork by Amie Dearlove, HarlotVonCharlotte, CrapPanther, and cover design by Rob Pearce.

Sssh, there's no monsters under the bed, hun. You know that. Just your father. Now make sure the chains are secure and get back to sleep, okay sweetie? A sentient AI wants to play games with a man trapped in a house. A horror magazine editor travels to a secluded island to find a film that makes you go mad when you watch it. A podcaster tries to get rid of a body on a boat with no fuel. And a cat uses a veterinarian as its living host to take over the world. Anthony Self's debut collection of short stories joyfully combines the macabre, surreal and the downright ludicrous nature of existentialism in these poignant tales to make you feel a little bit different in a world that wants you to fit in.
