Three months have passed since all of the adults have disappeared and the kids are struggling in the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone). Everyone is starving through previous mismanagement of food and due to other creature evolution. Let’s just say farming has just gotten a little bit more dangerous. Tensions are building because Sam, doesn’t have the ability to solve everyone’s problems and is just as frustrated as everyone else because no one else seems to be coming up with any solutions to the numerous […]
And Poof! They Were Gone
Book Bub loves to sell dystopian fiction at a discount price and therefore, I read a lot of dystopian literature when I’m too lazy to go to the library and/or hack into my mom’s Kindle account (note: I’m not actually hacking, she gives me permission, but it feels cooler when I say the word hack). This book caught my attention though because Stephen King mentioned this series on twitter several times (and not in a “the publishing company gave me money for this blurb kind […]
I’m Not Going to be Able to Sing That Bruce Song the Same Way Again…
Imagine waking up in the morning, going outside and the sun hasn’t come out. It’s completely dark, so much so that even at night, there are no stars in the sky. That’s the scenario our characters find themselves in the book Darkness at the Edge of Town by Brian Keene. As if that isn’t horrifying enough, the darkness seems to be almost like a dome over the small town of Walden, WV. There is no electricity, radios only play static, nothing can get in and […]
Ridiculous…But Fun Ridiculousness
Cannonball! Were you a fan of the Christopher Pike books where highly sociopathic and/or psychopathic teenagers attempted to ruin the lives of others for strange reasons? I loved those books. I guarantee that they are pure crap now (in fact, one cannonballer had been doing reviews and had me remembering them all in their crappy glory) but that’s pretty much what Liars Inc. is like. It’s junk food, you know that it’s not really a good book but it was FANTASTIC to read because […]
Family Dinners Are Killer
We begin with an anniversary. A family prepares to mourn the one year loss of a son and brother but there are two problems–the family is so fractured that they don’t even want to be in the same room as each other and two, there’s a madman who plans on killing them all because of the secrets they are keeping from one another. From the outside the family seems to have everything. They have a loving dog, a gigantic house with all the fancy amenities, […]
Burn to Rise Again
Phoenixville Rising has three intertwined stories spanning different time periods. We’ve got the central story of Tara, Boo and Sketch, teenagers in the ’80’s living in the small town of Phoenixville “where nothing really ever happens”. We have the story of Rebecca Wilton from the Civil War time period growing up as Phoenixville is just starting to grow (her father is responsible for that growth); and then we have the story of Sketch, present day, returning to Phoenixville for the first time in many, many […]
