The Last Band on Earth

A dystopian horror story about music and mental illness.

Nat and her bandmates in The Dead Layaways want to go on tour, but the demonic entities who run their city have other idea, not to mention the dark cloud that hangs over everything stifles their creativity. This ruined place is not their home, and they have no idea how they ended up here, or where "home" even is. Is there really nothing but endless wasteland beyond the city limits, as the demons claim?

Much like the author's previous work, The Last Band On Earth draws on themes of mental illness and attempted recovery. It is about being in your 20s and still not feeling like a Real Adult, and the fear that time is running out.
