“We pushed upriver into hell. We walked where nothing made sense. We lived a while in the company of madness.”

Centuries after civilisation collapses, survivors cling to the British coastline, trapped between the ocean and the Bloom, a parasitic and predatory flora that releases a mind-destroying toxin.

Surviving in the ruins, where packs of highly evolved dogs now dominate, scavenger Braska is captured and taken to the nearby stronghold of Crayport, where it is discovered that she has a dangerous secret. One that powerful matriarch Mother Cray is eager to exploit.

When Braska is sent back into the wastelands with a volatile crew of her own captors —including the tenacious Temlyn and the obdurate Faron — she must play an unwilling guide while fighting tooth and nail for survival. Something lies at the end of the trail, but will the answers prove to be worth the sacrifice?

Available on Ebook, paperback, hardcover, Audible, and Apple Books.

Writing Stick Man delivers yet another inventive and entertaining review. This time in the form of the incredible Weak in the Head, brought vividly to life by really thin pencil people. Take a look for yourselves and give it the thumbs up and a follow, and go and buy this book.

Writing with @GetFalcontext is a much richer experience for me, and it backs up perfectly to Google docs.

@starkterror88 Dirty Dancing is one of the greatest movies ever made, and the Swayze is infallible.

But Grey sucks.
