Women of the Apocalypse, due for release October 31^st, is a collaborative project by four writers: Londoner Ryan McFadden, Eileen Bell, Billie Millholland, and Roxanne Felix.  Each writer was tasked with writing one novella with a unifying idea – a heroine attempting to save the world from the ravages of the Biblical Riders of the Apocalypse.  Within this framework, each writer could explore themes that extend beyond the surface story (the degradation of our food supply, are there useful purposes for war, what constitutes a heroine?).

The Seven Deadly Sins

When the gauntlet was thrown we had to compete against one another and write seven sinister stories — each based on one of the seven deadly sins: Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth and Wrath.

Each story also had to be written in flash fiction: fiction of extreme brevity!

With a rush of adrenaline, a flurry of words was forced onto our computer screens — some in a less than gentle fashion. Soon our creativity was polishing the sentences and we hoped the paragraphs told each story in a manner unique to its author. Some stories revealed the entrapment in a single scene, others exposed the characters’ fall from grace over a longer period of time.

Over all, these short stories accomplish their mission and show off the seven deadly sins in a style that is easy to read and hard not to enjoy.
