"I think this is his magnum opus. Which would be a dumb thing to say since I haven't read anything else of Tanzer's other than the story collections, but I'm getting there. But this was seriously my most fave CCLaP publication. Here's a funny thing, yesterday, there was a sudden black out because some doofus broke something somewhere in New Jersey and that caused something to break and knock out the electricity in the late afternoon, so I actually read some of this in the dark and it just fit so well. Luckily, it came back in the evening, so the post-apocalyptic feelings didn't freeze me to death. This is also his most violent and the darkest, I was actually kind of worried, because the characters felt so familiar. I was actually waiting for it to somehow turn into a horror story, the best horror story ever, because I rarely get scared despite being scared easily. If that makes sense. But I think it's also because we all dealt with hurricanes and that Super Sandy storm was so scary, this was pretty close to real life."
