An exquisitely written collection of stories about evangelical culture, ideological polarization, and the mysteries and messiness of humanity.

In seven stories, End Times explores the lives of people variously entangled with evangelical culture, excavating their hidden anxieties and longings.

A Vancouver mother convinces her opioid-addicted son to attend church, and sparks her own personal emergency. A jet-setting consultant tries to help a rural fundamentalist teen, while her own secular life unravels in Toronto, Davos, and beyond. An atheist doctor attempts to expose a hipster megachurch pastor as a closeted hypocrite. Michelle Syba's characters are richly realized, often surprising themselves along the way.

During a time when crises abound and the end feels near, End Times invites us to reimagine the complex, utterly human lives of both believers and nonbelievers. This exceptional collection takes us into the hidden heart of the human.
