The Eschatologist - by Greg Chapman - A post apocalyptic novella

4 of 5 Stars     Review copy

Let's start with a quick definition of the term Eschatology.  Here's what the Merriam-Webster dictionary has to say, Eschatology. plural es·cha·tol·o·gies. 1 : a branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of humankind.

The Eschatologist takes that definition and delivers a novella that embodies the very idea of religion in a post apocalyptic world.

Greg Chapman opens the story with a gripping opening line, "The after-world was a canvas of ashen ruin painted by death."

What follows is a story of family, sacrifice, and the scary idea that even in a world that has completely fallen apart there will always be a lunatic fringe.

The Eschatologist is available now as an e-book from Voodoo Press.

Recommended.
