COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good survival fiction submitted by Staffsteph on August 29, 2018, 8:45pm This was a great take on disaster/apocalyptic fiction. It is told from the perspective of and Amish fathers diary which was a refreshing change of pace. The tale is an interesting insight into a different world and a different view on disasters.
