Never had something so consumed my interest and also heightened my fears as they did
I mourn her loss and the lack of a third book, but at least she can rest in peace not seeing her own horrors unfold into reality.
On a slight tangent, Gil Scott-Heron’s B Movie is similarly prescient. We’re all in a b movie now.

I might take another crack at it, but I gave up once the town got raided and they go on the road.
Thanks for that. 👍 (Even though the books are depressing as fck.)
