So in the leadup to the big day, I’m doing a thing. You (yes, you) can get a free ebook. All you have to do to become a part of this amazing and true way is: Reblog this post. On October 14th, I’ll pick 3 random Tumblr dot com users from the pool and give y’all will get a whole entire book for no dollars instead of five dollars. Cool, right? U know u want to.
The past lies like a nightmare over the world.
Two hundred years after the War when atomic fire rained from the skies and burned the world to cinders, human civilization has had time to rebuild within the burned-out husk of Old America. But the old terrors of the past still persist, and while some work to build a better world, others still dream of reclaiming the glory of the Old World.
In southern Appalachia, political commissar Magnolia Blackadder is sent on a mission into the irradiated Exclusion Zone of Old DC, where an evil that humanity thought it had vanquished centuries ago is waking up and rebuilding its strength. Along the way, she meets a strange woman with terrible secrets and an unspeakable past, and as they forge a bond and brave the terrors of the wasteland together, she learns that some demons are not so easily exorcised, and that some stones are better left unturned.
In this her debut novel, award-winning author Natalie Ironside delivers a new vision of the post-apocalypse, a tale of adventure, terror, love, and that most basic and most powerful of all human desires: Freedom.

Super looking forward to reading this, may even have to make it one for the book club
shucks <3
@wodneswynn okay, you ABSOLUTELY have my attention, but—I can’t read ebooks. I end up skipping entire paragraphs with no idea it’s happened. (I’m one of those people who uses my finger or a bookmark in paper books to follow my way down exactly which line I’m on.)
Is there hope for a physical release for this? Because I really want to read it and if it’s as good as it sounds I know at least three people I could recommend it to, but….I can’t read it 😭
There will absolutely be a physical release! I just can’t set those up for pre-order. But Yes, you should be able to order physical copies once the release date rolls around.
I don’t really like ebooks so much myself tbh.
EXCELLENT.
I love ebooks in theory. I think they’re wonderful accessibility tools for people with migraines, arthritis, lifting restrictions, etc. and great for travel and low shelf space. It’s just that unfortunately they have the exact opposite effect for me, and so I’m stuck building biceps with Stephen King.
Interest piqued, but I dont want the lesbians to die.
Oh heavens no. They live happily ever after.
Eff yeah! Im in!
:3
Wanted to add to this, in a similar vein: major props for writing a story with multiple older characters of color who actually survive through the end.
shucks, y’all <3
They live happily ever after
awesome I’m in!!!!
:3
Can confirm that this is my favorite book I read in 2020 and that the author is AMAZING
<3 y'all
Extremely looking forward to the physical release <3 might need several. To indoctrinate my friends.
