The Folk of the Fringe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Folk of the Fringe, by Orson Scott Card, is a collection of post-apocalyptic stories set in North America and focusing on his fellow Mormons. The stories are all stand-alone, though they each include at least one character from one of the other stories that helps make them a cohesive collection.
