Friday, August 17, 2007 - Coming Soon From Apodis

Thought I'd give a quick sneak peek at the next book due out from Apodis. This, as you can see, is Stumble Down the Mountainside from Ian Donnell Arbuckle. If you got your hands on a copy of Goodbye, Darwin, you might remember Ian's kickass story "Hard Wonder".

The cover blurb for the novel goes a little something like this:

Lithium has just graduated college and wants nothing more than to sleep in late on summer mornings and occasionally hit his younger brother with a stick. One morning, he wakes up to find the rest of humanity gone, destroyed in a man-made apocalypse -- but somehow his family is untouched. Drug-addled Mom; his brothers, suicidal Brat and jelly-spined paranoiac Grant; his Dad the zombie. Lithium begins to feel like the center of a brand new rarity: the dysfunctional family. He is the tormented middle child, but he's the last middle child on Earth. As far as he is concerned, that means he gets the write the rules from here on out.

I'm hoping for a release date within the next couple of months, but I'll be sure to let you all know.
