Dunkard Bottom

In this sequel to Permelia Lyttle’s Guide to the End of the World, Luray’s wife Abigail believes the end is just around the corner. So, the resourceful heiress buys and restores an abandoned village where she hopes to create an idyllic community for surviving in style. However, the apocalypse turns out to be nothing like anyone imagined.

In Dunkard Bottom, humankind’s ultimate swan dive takes on new meaning as prophecies converge and dangers loom. Despite its bickering citizens, the village grows. But the community is soon simmering with romances, rivalries, distrust, and evidence of a traitor in their midst. Will Luray lose Abigail under the strain? Is Jason who he says he is? And whatever happened to Permelia Lyttle’s daughter? With the digital age fizzled and the government a no-show, Dunkard Bottom is American ingenuity at its quirky best under the threat of white-collar terrorists, illness, death, and weeds.
