"Undeniably talented, Michael Patrick Hicks shows evidence of a rather deliciously depraved mind." (SciFi & Scary) With In the End, Nothing , Michael Patrick Hicks has brought together a number of dark, strange and moving short stories, collected here for the first time. Join six guests for a remarkably disturbing twelve-course meal. Venture into the far reaches of space where, aboard an abandoned mining station, a team of scientists make a surprising discovery about the origin of life. Watch as a contestant competes for money on a gameshow unlike anything currently on-air, one where the biggest celebrity is death itself. Featuring two brand-new stories exclusive to this collection, In the End, Nothing crosses the genres of horror and speculative fiction, and pushes the boundaries between life and death in unsettling, provocative, and occasionally gruesome, ways. "Readers quickly discover that this is a writer that doesn't hold back." (The Ghastly Grimoire)
