One Second After | William R. Forstchen

I liked this. Most of the story takes place in the year following an EMP attack. It‘s how a rural mountain community is able to gather and ration what they have and work as hard as possible to survive impossible conditions. Many don‘t survive and there is a lot of violence. Not the most polished writing, but the story is thought-provoking and engaging. And bleak, especially near the end. It inspired some great conversations with my family.

ItsAnotherJen Such a good series! My dad recommended it to me, and it was fun to have something to talk to him about since we usually don't read the same books 1d

My husband found this manga at a used bookstore, so of course it joined our collection. It's a dark, humorous, and adorable short in Sadako's afterlife (long after The Ring) imagining what would happen if she was summoned in a post-apocalyptic landscape. #manga #apocalypse #horror

The English version wasn't in the Litsy database. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is in my top 5 favorite books ever. This graphic novel adaptation captures his work so well. The visuals are dark, the story has been shortened, but the message still remains.

This is my first read finished for #HauntedShelf for team #HexesandCrows. @PuddleJumper @Catsandbooks It also counts for the book cover hunt for #Dark, both with its cover and content.

AnnCrystal Scary...simple, yet the environmental warning message was incredibly written. 👏😳👍. 2mo

“(Crowley) rather liked people. It was major failing in a demon. Oh, he did his best to make their short lives miserable, because that was his job, but nothing he could think up was half as bad as the stuff they thought up themselves. They seemed to have a talent for it. It was built into the design, somehow. They were born into a world that was against them in a thousand little ways, and then devoted most of their energies to making it worse.”

Good Omens | Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett

It‘s as if Gaiman and Pratchett wrote the characters specifically for Tennant and Sheen.

When in doubt: read a Neil Gaiman book.

This audiobook is AMAZING!! It‘s like listening to a movie. The score and effects are mind blowing and the storyline amazing. It kept me at the edge of my seat since the beginning. The production for this audiobook did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I recommend it 💯! One of my favorites from this year.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anticlimactic end. Finally figured out Darcy‘s voice; it‘s played by Holiday Grainger who also stars in the Strike series.
