How an apocalypse could really happen. When the electricity goes out, Rice doesn‘t focus on chaos in cities. His indigenous characters live in far northern Ontario with some knowing how to live off the land. This community responds to the crisis collectively, staying true to their culture, even when outsiders appear to threaten them. A slow beautiful burn of a book with complex & flawed characters. #FictionalTraveler #SomeplaceCold

My Kobo tells me I‘m 86% into this hauntingly realistic apocalyptic story. Finishing it this morning with help from Lizzie who has claimed the ottoman and my legs as her snuggle territory 😂

The male indigenous MC‘s thoughts about his daughter💙

This book is a slow burn, but a captivating slow burn. It‘s depicting how I think an apocalyptic event might occur.

In this sequel to “Dead of Night,” we continue the story of what happened to a small Pennsylvania town after a serial killer, Homer Gibbon, is lethally injected by a deadly virus and thus goes on a bloody rampage, infecting others and ultimately bringing about a zombie apocalypse.

This novel was not at all what I expected. It was so much better. A dystopian story from Indigenous point of view, expelling the systemic prejudice that tries to take over their lives. In the process, their community grows tighter and stronger as times become more desperate. The final straw will shock you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Short and stressful! It was like being a lobster in a pot of lukewarm water set on a stove, heating up so slowly you don‘t realize you‘re dying until it‘s too late. And I mean that in the best way! (53)
⭐️: 4/5

#FoodandLit #Canada An interesting read about a community finding themselves with no power or outside communication. What they do to survive the long winter. I'm going to read the second book of this series. #SeriesLove24 #ReadAway24 @Texreader @Catsandbooks @Andrew65 @DieAReader @TheSpineView @GHABI4ROSES

my #naughtylistholidayswap aesthetic. I like creepy, edgy, fantastical stuff.

I liked this. Most of the story takes place in the year following an EMP attack. It‘s how a rural mountain community is able to gather and ration what they have and work as hard as possible to survive impossible conditions. Many don‘t survive and there is a lot of violence. Not the most polished writing, but the story is thought-provoking and engaging. And bleak, especially near the end. It inspired some great conversations with my family.
