The Earth Is (Not) a Cold Dead Place

13 parts Complete

COVER NOT FINAL When the sun disappears, John and everyone he does and does not know has to figure out what to do with the rest of their short lives. And while a lot is uncertain, there is one thing they know for sure: it will only get darker, and it will only get colder. An apocalyptic drama in 12 chapters, two parts (6 chapters each), and about 32k words. For fans of such uplifting works as The Road by Cormac McCarthy or The Plague by Albert Camus. Intended/recommended to be read in one single sitting. Next best thing would be in 2 sessions, for both parts (chapters 1-6 and 7-12). Last resort would be chapter by chapter. Written during the last week of 2018 and the first of 2019. Edited ever since, in various forms of intensity, until release in december of 2021.
