The Reapers Are the Angels by Alden Bell

4.0

Katniss Everdeen apparently became lost while bow-hunting in what passes for YA Dystopia. She quickly found herself in a global charnel house, a dread zone, while trekking up a I-90 ravaged by the walking dead. Before she can mutter poppenjay, she's become a real killing machine, as opposed to the bloodless slaughter of the Volturi. Ree emerges gore-spattered and prone to psychotic rages. Transformed and seeking atonement, Bella is saddled with Lennie Small as they attempt to outwit Anton Chigurh, while all the while carrying the fire; that is when Buffy/Katniss/Temple isn't butchering mutants, nine feet tall and socially ill-disposed. Apparently Tom Hanks will play all these roles in the film adaptation.

It is a Gothic success, though the voiceovers are a bit purple. Recommended.
