Blight is FINALLY HERE and I'm not gonna be normal about it.
Book two in The Sleep of Reason series, this book is what happens when right-wing governments stop dog-whistling about fascism and fully commit to the bit. Set in Canada, this book shows how menacing "peace, order, and good government" can be.
It's not all doom and gloom. Sure, there's "Cleaners" and "unencumberances", but in the depths of the fractured cells of the rebellion, the queers finally move past "twenty years of pining". Love is all we've got. Sure, electricity and food is swell, but turns out, the heart's need for love and friendship and connection outlasts the rising ocean, the falling parliament.
Plus, this book is funny, and turns out, you can survive (almost) anything with the application of sufficient quantities of dark humour.
