Product Description:
You can survive a nuclear blast.
All you need is some luck, and maybe a customized business suit coated in cockroaches. It could work. At least that’s what Dean believed before the bombs actually dropped and his suit led him to murder a Very Important Man at the foot of a blackened obelisk.
Now D.C. is looking awfully empty. Life on Earth is pretty much coming to an end. All of which leaves Dean with a single question-"What now?" The answer to that question will take him on an uncanny voyage across a newly nuclear America where he must confront the problems associated with loneliness, radiation, love, and an ever-evolving cockroach suit with a mind of its own.
Dean’s bizarre adventures mark the last chronicle of human existence, the final entries in our species’ own…
Extinction Journals
Average Rating: 
Rating:  -
Like Jeremy Robert Johnson, I seem to have a fascination with the apocalypse. Thus Extinction Journals slots into the bookshelf alongside J.G. Ballard's Hello America, Denis Johnson's Fiskadoro, Jonathan Lethem's Amnesia Moon. Phiip K. Dick's Dr Bloodmoney and Cormac McCarthy's The Road. As a stylist he's not up there with Ballard or McCarthy but Journals is a rip-roaring read infused with both dread and humor. If I have a complaint it is simply that it is too damn short.

Cockroaches and Ants and Nukes! Oh, my! This is definitely not a read for Twinkies. Nor is it for folks who are easily bugged (though the certifiably buggy will have a field day). It may encroach on your sensibilities and antagonize your digestion.
If this is the way the world tries to off itself, I might as well cut and leave right now. This is a quick read and not a bit sluggish or boring. I really liked it and my friend Katy did, too.

...is the life of a man wearing twinkies meets a man wearing a suit of cockroaches. It warmed my heart to read who got eaten. (You must buy the book to find out.) JRJ has become THE author to watch on my 'authors-to-watch' list. This was my first contact with his work, and I've read it at least four or five times since. I've loaned it out to friends (it's on loan as I write this review, as a matter of fact,) and I've told nearly everyone I know who would be interested in this book. So, I'm telling ... Read More

A truly original story, from a fresh voice in fiction. A must-read for any readers looking for something new.

In an age where misinformation has spread to epidemic proportions, where the issues of peak oil and environmental collapse are addressed by the creation of hybrid SUVs, and where technology has quietly invaded and altered every aspect of human life, books like Extinction Journals are more important than ever. Despite all of today's problems (a looming conflict with Iran, celebrity antics, etc.), it's still possible to find hope for a solution. And yeah, constructing a cockroach suit to survive nuclear ...
