Welcome to the apocalypse. It's quieter than we were led to believe it would be.
Every day as the world burns, we get out of bed, go to work, take our medicine, ache to smile just that little bit harder for the camera, 'share' our children, and cram more items into our carts.
But with every bleak headline that goes by, we each suffer our own private collapse.
Stories for the Apocalypse #1: Notes on the New Normal is a collection of visceral, suburban horror stories by Ben Tallon, about coping in the midst of the mania of modern society.
"Ben Tallon really captures a certain 'did I just see that?' British griminess. This is the kind of in-the-shadows suburban horror I love. Always in danger of getting out of control." - Charlie Adlard, The Walking Dead.
"Ben's mundane world is our world. His skill is pulling back the veil, and showing us the depravity that lurks closer than we allow ourselves to realise." - Susan Earlam, Author of Earthly Bodies.
"Tallon's Notes are written in a spare, pummelling fashion like conkers dropping from big trees onto expensive cars. He's telling us that the world is underpinned with a disturbed hilarity. This is a book that smells like my old socks. But the sort of old socks you like; because they're yours; that smell, that stink, it's yours." - Austin Collings, author of God's Fox and The Myth of Brilliant Summers
