The Reapers Are the Angels by Alden Bell

5.0

5 Stars

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

This story of a young girl named Temple. Temple and her demons; imagined or not; move us through this desolate landscape and her repeated torturous memories. All of this, while being pursued by one man's sense of what is right and what is deemed wrong.

Truly powerful, dark, tragic and gritty. Not your average zombie story; the zombies, or slugs; are only background. This hearkens to the Autumn series by David Moody; in how poetic the story is; as well as, The Road by Cormac McCarthy with such a dark and almost hopeless tale.

Highly recommended.
