There is something ethereal about the gangly wild boy with dark hair and broad, flat smile that speaks to Ridley. His curious gaze and apprehensive approach has her seeking him whenever she heads to the ancient, rotting city near her home, but Gangly isn't alone, and despite all appearances, neither is Ridley, though she doesn't know it.
Two centuries after society is nearly erased following war and a mutating plague, dubbed the GLIMMER, Ridley survives alone in a clifftop abode with nothing but the teachings of a long dead man she called Grandfather, and the leftovers of an eviscerated world.
THE AFTER begins as innocently as a Ridley's daily life, and as inane a subject as the many chores she must complete to survive the cold winter months of the north, but she is lonely, and the pangs of want gnaw at her after meeting the wild boy.
Disregarding Grandfather's warnings about trust, and the dangers of a remaining wild society, Ridley brings the gangly boy and his brother into her life. Doing so, sets them all on a dark, twisting course, none of them can escape, and Ridley, the once innocent young woman with a wistful outlook, finds her curiosity and kindness driving them toward a wrenching evil fate, in this gradually darkening thriller.
If you loved 'THE ROAD' by Cormac McCarthy, THE AFTER will thoroughly entertain you, and your thirst for dystopian adventure.
