Welcome to Litsy!

Not what I was expecting from the description and marketing, but the production quality is great and it‘s addictive as hell.

Such wonderful detailed illustration and a very beautiful and depressing story.

Enjoy!

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.

$0.99 on kindle today. A colleague told me about this months ago, but I never got around to getting a copy. I fixed that today.

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.

“(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.”

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

When in doubt: read a Neil Gaiman book.
