Apocalyptic Montessa and Nuclear Lulu, by Mercedes Murdock Yardley.

Confession: I had never heard of this book, and (originally) ordered it so that I could see the quality of books Ragnarok Press is putting out.

It’s on the short side. I love doorstoppers; I read very quickly, and I love to be completely enveloped in a new world for hours on end. I looked at the cover, read the blurbs, turned it around in my hands, and thought, huh. It’s kinda short.

And then I opened this little handheld incendiary device and read the first few words, and I thought, huh, she can write.

And that was the last thing I really thought for the next couple of hours. My kids wanted my attention, my dogs wanted fed, and I sat in my reading chair engulfed in dark flames, snarling whenever anyone approached. I never wanted it to end. I wanted a happy ending, though I knew full well a happy ending was nowhere to be found in this slim, powerful volume.

The fuck are you still doing, reading this review? Go buy this book. Because it’s so good it burns.
