In an apocalyptic, depopulated city, a young man named Bhu struggles to feed his ailing dog, Lucy. Phan, the local pizza parlor owner, takes pity on Bhu and provides the meat Lucy needs so she can survive.
But what exactly is in the meat? And how far is Bhu willing to go to save his dog?
COSMIC CRUST by Alex Sherman is delightful, even with all the horrific imagery. Somehow the world dying doesn't seem so bad, knowing a guy loves his dog so much. Lucy is awesome. I'm strangely okay with this apocalypse scenario.
As always,
