Query: The Ultimate Apocalyptic Story

Catching up on my reviews, I noted the absence of one for this book, which I read a while back. I'm a huge *fan* of apocalyptic and post apocalyptic literature (but PLEASE, NO ZOMBIES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH). No idea why this subject fascinates me as it does (and I know I'm not alone!), might be one result of the Cold War Baby Syndrome (and yes, we really were waiting for "the big one"). Having written my own short stories (for many years) and even a novel, I know that the characters and scenario stay with you during the entire writing process and beyond. I can't imagine how McCarthy lived, day and night, with this rattling around in his head, but WOW I'm glad he did.
