      About This Book

      Post-apocalyptic horror gets a "brilliant, haunting, original" twist in this gripping survival story for fans of The Last of Us (Den of Geek).

      "Teeming with the spirit of feminist speculative trailblazers like Margaret Atwood, Ursula K. Le Guin . . . channels the eerie spirit of Kelly Link and the environmental surrealism of Jeff VanderMeer" (Kirkus).

      Somewhere away from the cities and towns, in the Valley of the Rocks, a society of men and boys gather around the fire each night to listen to their history recounted by Nate, the storyteller. Requested most often by the group is the tale of the death of all women.

      They are the last generation.

      One evening, Nate brings back new secrets from the woods; peculiar mushrooms are growing from the ground where the women's bodies lie buried. These are the first signs of a strange and insidious presence unlike anything ever known before . . .

      Discover the Beauty.
