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.
The Last Girl Scout is a dystopian adventure story about queer hillbillies going on a big adventure in the irradiated ruins of Old America. If you liked Fallout or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or all things American Gothic then I got five bucks says you’ll like this. Plus it’s got lesbians in it &and they are in love & they even hold hands.
“But Natalie,” you say, “How can I become a part of this amazing and true way?” Well, I will tell you!
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
