A review by rick
Apocalypse Now Now by Charlie Human

Fun, engaging first book about Baxter Zevcenko, a high school mover and shaker who matters... or does he? He's tossed headlong into some very weird stuff, stuff that's probably supernatural if it's not all inside his twisted mind and he's just another misunderstood kid. Set in S Africa which for US readers brings another level of strangeness, this is a book that fans of Richard Kadrey and the like shouldn't miss. The main problem with it is that the sequel isn't out yet.
