BN.com’s page for Wastelands has a review from Library Journal, which I knew was coming, but hadn’t seen yet:

Jackie Cassada – Library Journal

From Steven King’s take on the end of humanity through science gone wrong ("The End of the Whole Mess") to John Langan’s horrific tale of a small group’s valiant last stand against an unbeatable enemy ("Episode Seven: Last Stand Against the Pack in the Kingdom of the Purple Flowers"), the 22 stories in this end-of-days anthology run the gamut from nuclear devastation to environmental debacle to the Second Coming. Also featuring Orson Scott Card, Octavia E. Butler, and Gene Wolfe, and including an original story by Jerry Oltion ("Judgement Passed"), this title belongs in most sf or short fiction collections.

Drat, I was hoping for a star! But can’t complain, a very positive review, one that will hopefully get some library orders so that maybe the Missoula Public Library won’t be the only one to have a copy.

Also, I note that B&N categorizes it as "Alternate Realities – Fiction," a sub-section of Science Fiction/Fantasy. Post-apocalyptic fiction isn’t what I would think of as "alternate reality" fiction, but okay.

Update: Oh, and here it is on the Library Journal page.
