i got one no one seems to have heard of, but its a series by a bunch of writers, and it was stitched together by none other than George RR Martin..
The WildCard series... i just love the different writing styles across the different characters...and its an amazing universe.. i highly recommend it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Cards
the short is: alien race f's up a non trivial percent of the human population with a virus.. most die. what neat is the mish-mash of history with a new minority of deformed humans. i think it starts in ~1947 running through the 90s.
I was aware of the Wild Cards collection as a sidenote in Martin's publishing history, but this is the first time I've seen it recommended by a real person!
