“With her latest, Silva presents an apocalyptic tale of a woman facing horrors personal and grief-stricken in a world of darkness.”
Just beyond the smoke-filled skies of a United States in the throes of an apocalypse, a woman treks the grim railroad tracks in a small town.
With her only companion an undead fox, reanimated with the soul of a middle-aged father who passed away before the world died and backwoods herbal magic, she seeks a quiet place to settle down in the bleak landscape …
… and revenge.
