Green Tsunami

Bag om Green Tsunami

A POST-APOCALYPTIC NIGHTMARELaura Cooney and L.L. Soares have created a post-apocalyptic novella that is disturbing, graphic, and provocative. A mysterious "green tsunami" has swept the planet -- and nothing will be the same as both living and inanimate things begin to evolve into a new horrifying reality. The story is told entirely via emails between a man and his wife, separated by the catastrophe, describing the terrors they must face as they strive to survive. AN EXCERPT FROM GREEN TSUNAMI"You would think that when a big green tsunami pounds down on the earth and floods the streets, and rips buildings out of the ground, the scientists would have seen something coming. That they could have prepared for it. But this seems to have caught everyone with their pants down. "And it doesn't make sense that anyone survived. Nobody seems to remember when it actually hit. And nobody can figure out how we all didn't get wiped out. How we all didn't just drown. "I've never seen such damage. And at the same time, it all seems to be healing over in some weird way. New things growing in their place -- I can't identify most of it. But I'll try if you let me ..." REVIEWS "I've never tried drugs, but I will bet reading Green Tsunami is like dropping LSD and then taking a tour of Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory." -- Matthew Scott Baker "In Green Tsunami, not only are people changing in all kinds of ways due to whatever it is that has hit the planet, but inanimate objects as well. No one is safe, no one can be trusted, and the bizarro/SciFi imagination of the authors is on full freak-out display here." -- Nick Cato, author of Suburban Grindhouse: From Staten Island to Times Square and All the Sleaze Between and Uptown Death Squad "The setting and events are quite surreal and can bend your brain in directions it usually doesn't need to in a Koontz novel. But if you want a story that's way out of the box, but tells a fascinating, and often touching, story, check this novella out." -- Daniel G. Keohane, author of Plague of Locusts and Solomon's Grave " If you're a fan of body horror (Brian Yuzna, Stuart Gordon, David Cronenberg) this story is for you. It's grotesque, but the bodily afflictions serve a purpose. It's surreal for sure, but not abstract and pointless. This would make a great sci-fi/horror film." -- Alan Sessler The cover illustration is by Dan Verkys, with a cover design by Ju Kim. Interior illustrations were created by Will Renfro, Justynn Tyme, and Ju Kim.
