In Karen Thompson Walker’s debut novel, The Age of Miracles, the end of the world is less of a bang than a whimper.

    As you may have noticed, I'm always up for a book that can make me laugh out loud. (And keep those grim dystopias far away.)  Wake of the bloody angel is certainly one of the fun ones.
