A Tidy Armageddon
Sales and Market Bullets
- A MASH-UP OF CORMAC MCCARTHY’S THE ROAD AND EMILY ST. JOHN MANDEL’S STATION ELEVEN: While this novel’s cataclysm contrasts with the scorched world depicted in The Road, it is similarly written in intense, graphic prose, featuring an unusual and arresting environment and gripping tension and action. Reminiscent of Station Eleven, it includes strong female characters, and an emotionally rich story of friendship, love, and loss.
- DYSTOPIA: The novel depicts an apocalypse unlike any other, and while apparently less chaotic than the stock tropes — nuclear holocaust, meteor strike, alien invasion, pandemic, zombie outbreak — it is no less devastating.
Audience
- For readers of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven
- Readers of sci-fi and literary dystopian fiction
- Fans of the TV show (and book) The Leftovers
“Samuel Beckett meets Stephen King in an absurd and eerie coming-of-end tale that should serve as some sort of warning (but probably won’t).” — Peter Darbyshire, author of Has the World Ended Yet?
“A Tidy Armageddon is a gorgeous, provocative, pitch-perfect conceptual art piece in the literary lineage of Tom McCarthy’s Remainder and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. I was immersed from the first page into a world resembling an enormous and very organized megastore, where capitalism’s last breath chastened and delighted me. Had God’s hand rearranged all the things just so, or was it an advanced alien civilization? No, it was BH Panhuyzen in passionate authority presenting me with the end of the world in a way never before imagined. Unforgettable. ” — Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer, author of All the Broken Things and Wait Softly Brother
“This book is the furthest apocalypse from Mad Max that you can get. Instead, it’s a transfixing and brilliant attack on consumerism and, in a way, humanity’s inability to look before we leap…If you want an almost literary fiction apocalypse novel (like The Road or Station Eleven) that contains quite a few tropes but in ways you don’t expect, you should totally check this out.” — Post Apocalyptic Media
