Synopsis

"It’s legitimate SF, and it’s ‘mainstream,’ and it’s metafiction: I don’t know anyone else doing quite what Lain is doing; fascinating work, moving, strikingly honest, powerful.”―Rich Horton, Locus Magazine
Gore Vidal meets Philip K. Dick in this collection of “lit-fabulist” stories.

Douglas

Lain’s work has been attracting high profile attention throughout the genre, and

this collection features some of his finest and most controversial fiction. These

stories present electric messiahs, identity constructs, the Beatles, and even nuclear

Armageddon as comic foils for Lain’s everyman characters. Here is an America where

the packets of Sea Monkeys that arrive in the mail contain secret messages and the

girl next door can breathe underwater.

With Last Week’s Apocalypse, Douglas Lain

arrives with a punch line and a warning.
