"The Folk of the Fringe" (1989) is a collection of post-apocalyptic stories by Orson Scott Card. These stories are set sometime in the near future, when World War III has left America in ruins. The stories are about how a few groups of Mormons struggle to survive. Although all of these stories in this book were meant to stand alone, they each include at least one character from one of the other stories which helps to make them a cohesive collection.

This book also includes interior artwork by Glen R. Bellamy, an "Author's Note: On Sycamore Hill" by Orson Scott Card and an "Afterward: The Folk of the Fringe" by Michael Collings. The essay by Card was originally published in the 55th issue of "Science Fiction Review" (1985) under the title "On Sycamore Hill: A Personal View".

Influences

As with many of Card's other literature, a Christian/Mormon influence is present in this book.
