Description
Book SynopsisA thrilling dystopia, in turns heart-breaking and heart-pounding Forty years ago, the world changed. Toxic threads left behind by mutated moths infected every man and boy, killing them quietly in their sleep, or turning them into crazed killers. No one was safe from their psychopathic wrath and no one could reach them. All seemed hopeless. But humanity, as it does, adapted and society moved on. Now, men are kept in specially treated dust-free facilities for their safety, and are never able to return to the outside. The world is quiet, but secrets are kept safe in whispers. Very few people remember what life was like before the change, but Mary knows. She had a family. She was happy. This is her story. File Under: Science Fiction
Trade Review"An invigorating debut… ingenious in the way it takes the toxic masculinity theme of
The Handmaid's Tale and flips it on its head."
– Financial Times"Hennigan manages to deliver a personal story with depth in a world that feel all-too-possible, and does so very well."
– SFF World"Will appeal to readers of post-apocalyptic stories like
The Handmaid's Tale."
