In twists of afters and befores in the coal mining Hunter Valley in NSW, atrocities seem 'normal'. Families are 'camping underground' in an old colliery, sheltering in terror from drive-by shootings, bullying patriots, lone actors, nuclear reactor bomb plots, snipers, race riots, zoonotic virii, distorted limbs sticking out of sandy beaches that mock the end times weather. Human survival has become utterly perilous yet sex and sensuality endure and ribbons of dark wit wrap around familial losses. \"Cessnock, where else\/ would you stage\/ the end of the world?\" - Pam Brown\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 190\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 26, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47350751789305,"sku":"9781922571502","price":24.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ZjN0K0JVQ0ZDeXNQdmw0ZmFWOUtzQT09_2b507bec-79de-49a2-82b3-8400b261b51c.webp?v=1769790159","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/camping-underground-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
