A post-apocalyptic Romeo and Juliette story filtered through gas masks and set in apocryphal suburbia, where everything is just a little bit wrong...

The sky is on fire but Phrae has learned not to sweat the small stuff. The only thing Phrae cares about is getting past the wall and entering the perfect city of AsBest. Six years ago, he lost the best thing he'd ever known behind the wall, and he means to get it back.

When a work program opens up, allowing entrance into AsBest, Phrae is first in line. He plays the role of good little worker bee, because what's the old saying? Fake it until you take it?

Six years ago, Melody was sold to the creepy bird-masked healer of AsBest. Trapped in the revolving ivory tower at the centre of the metropolis, she is forced to sell parts of herself. Everything from her voice to her blood is packaged, commercialized and consumed by the rich. But Melody is not a little bird in a fragile cage, and she is determined to find a way out, even if it's on the end of a self-made noose.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

K. Q. Watson is the cyborg that you don’t take home to meet your parents. She looks innocuous and gentle, but there are oodles of satanic death metal songs continually playing in her head. Sometimes, when she’s all alone, she thinks back to some of her favourite episodes of Intervention and the best scenes from The People Under the Stairs.

She writes because what else is she going to do, let’s be real here.

One legged Canadian who likes The Dark Crystal more than she will ever like you.

The characters in her head keep her sane.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finding the treasures amid the bleak and decayed
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Watson opens the tale with a truly gripping and bleak scene, and the expertly utilized prose aids in swiftly orienting the reader into this bleak and decayed society. The societal shortfalls are manifest not only in the glut and excesses of the elite but also in the ways the focal characters are able to process their experiences, captured wonderfully in this tale. An enjoyable romp through a much fuller, living world.
