Read an excerpt from "Afterland"

Yesterday we shared news that a Lauren Beukes novel would be adapted into an Apple TV+ series.

Now, if you’re like us and intrigued by her work, we can provide you an excerpt from her new release, Afterland.

The novel takes place a few years after a pandemic killed the majority of the world’s men and follows a mother bound to save her twelve-year-old son from a grim fate.

Read the New York Times’s excerpt of Afterland (if talk of pandemics, real or imagined, doesn't freak you out too much) and check out the reviews of the novel on Book Marks.
