What happened?

Talk about being disappointed! This anthology of different scenarios about the end of the world has a huge number of top rated authors, so I thought this would be a superior collection of stories. It isn't. There are one or two stories that stir the imagination, but many of the stories felt like they had been heavily edited. A few times I turned the page to be shocked that the story had ended. When I looked at the copyrights page I realized that one of the problems may be that some of these stories are almost 80 years old, so they feel dated. I just didn't find enough content to find anything new or cutting edge, or even never done before. Sorry, this one didn't cut it.
