Jamie Hallow and the End of the World

Jamie Hallow is an Unbeliever...

For thousands of years, the Legion protected humanity from eldritch terrors. But when the nukes dropped, the balance was broken. The Legion retreated underground, ceding the surface to radioactive fall-out, surface scavengers, and things from Outside.

Several years since the war's end, queer teenage misfit Jamie Hallow - Legion born and raised - finds the bunker's theocracy stifling. His ex-boyfriend has pledged allegiance to the secretive Taskforce, running missions into the hot zone of the crumbling city.

And when Jamie learns just what his ancient cult is prepared to do to 'save' humanity, he must choose where his loyalties lie.

A novella from A.V. Wilkes - HP Lovecraft meets Mean Girls by way of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

"An achingly beautiful portrait of apocalyptic coming of age, Ally Wilkes has created an empathetic and memorable character in orphaned Jamie Hallow. With well-crafted and relatable characters, a haunting and dread-inducing setting, and stunning aesthetics in the implementation of cosmic doom under a frozen sky, the entire experience is evocative and emotional. Wilkes' talent is on full display, and I envy the generations who will have the benefit of Wilkes' works at a pivotal age. Just fantastic."
