"Dark, haunting but beautiful." "One of the best books I've ever read." "Not your average apocalypse survival story." Armageddon has never been so colourful. Watch it unfold through the jaded yet childlike eyes of Silas Stanley, a recently escaped psychiatric patient who must travel hundreds of miles across a devastated Britain to find his dying daughter before the world ends. Less grim survival and more a one-way journey toward redemption, The Man Who Lived at the End of the World is a story for those who prefer their apocalypse to be more personal. "Quite simply one of the most beautiful books I've ever read." "More depth and dimensions than other post-apocalypse books." "An amazing book." "Couldn't stop reading it."
