Hot off the presses: The Passage!!!


This book comes out Tuesday and sounds astonishing. Justin Cronin has a literary pedigree that includes the Pen/Hemingway award, the Stephen Crane prize and in The Passage, he’s created an epic story about a virus that nearly destroys the world, turning the infected into ravenous, vampiric “Virals,” who have nothing in common with Stephanie Meyer’s undead.

The first of a three-novel saga about the quest to bring the world back from hell itself, reviews (including an enthusiastic Stephen King) suggest this is that rare work that combines both high literary craftsmanship and visceral, addictive storytelling.

Can’t wait for this one!
