The Vagrant by Peter Newman
5.0
A stunning journey through a devastated world with a mute man, a baby, and a goat.
Depravity is pitted against virtue as the Vagrant struggles against demon-invaders and humans alike that seek to scrape raw the human sense of love, generosity, and kindness. Each interaction is a risk, a gamble, a battle.
Newman's writing is beautifully wrought and wrenchingly grotesque. The characters are layered, complex, and hilarious. The plot takes you step-by-step through towns, cities, and memories that linger long in your mind afterwards, like twining smoke.
Pick this book up for incredibly rich writing, a twisted take on an apocalypse, and the degradation of human nature. Highly recommended.
