Available to pre-order for a December 2011 release! Neighbourhood Jungle by Brett McBean Cover art by Steve Crisp Internal illustrations by Keith Minnion Bonus stories from Kealan Patrick Burke and R. Frederick Hamilton Synopsis: Six months have passed since the arrival of the New World. A world plunged into primitive living overnight. Within this wild and dangerous landscape live two types of survivors: those attempting to restore civilisation, a sense of order and normalcy; and those who have embraced the jungle, governed by new rules, doing anything to survive. For the group living in the remains of a supermarket – now a make-shift hospital and refuge – their attempts of a safe, ordered life has so far been successful. There's an adequate supply of food, with injuries and maladies being treated as best as possible by the local doctor. Their main concern is the gang living in the ruined Blockbuster across the river. As wild and untamed as the jungle that has taken over the once-thriving suburban shopping strip, the gang kidnap and murder at will, hanging what remains of the dead from a nearby fast-food sign. So far they’ve left the small community alone, but it’s only a matter of time before the gang's blood lust brings forth a deadly confrontation. In the jungle, only the fittest survive. Welcome to the neighbourhood.

I agree with your assessment on the final scenes Steve, only it took me a bit to appreciate it. Without divulging anything, I will say I was stunned at first on how the story ended. I have no idea if Brett knew this might be the reaction of readers when writing it, but I'm guessing that it was and that he took a chance with it. In the first draft of my review, I wrote that after I thought about the ending for a while I came to the conclusion that it was pure genius for a variety of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that it forced the reader to analyze what just happened in the context of the story, not the mythos. That may sound strange, but I think it was because my expectations for N.J. were different than what was presented, and I'm the one at fault for that. When the story ended as it did, I simply was not prepared for it. The addition of the two short stories was welcomed also, with Burke's story giving N.J. a bit of gravitas from the start. |
