Locked away because of her unknown wake visual sensation and her nightmares , Faye is seeing a perturbing vision of the world ’s imminent destruction — even as the real world beyond her walls is actually falling apart , thanks to an petroleum crisis which has have chaos and mass riot .
Sara Wilson Etienne ’s Harbinger is perhaps the most topical of the dystopian immature - adult record book to add up out late , thanks to its twinned report of extremum fossil oil and apocalyptic madness . And to celebrate the Word of God ’s exit today , publisher G.P. Putnam ’s Sons has commissioned 24 creative person to illustrate some of the scenes from the Scripture . Because Faye is ineffectual to pass with anybody about her unusual experiences , these artists are helping to give her a vocalization .
Here ’s an exclusive feel at one of those paintings , by artist Andrea Offermann , and the scene which it illustrate :
My hand . My paw were wrap up in bolshy . Not a bright stop - sign bolshy or an orangey clown red . It was the terrible brown red of rakehell . The whorls of my fingerprints stood sheer against the rich crimson . I ’d fallen out of bottom before , lots of metre , but this ? This was new . What ’s depart on ?
I looked over at Maya ’s bed , but she was n’t in it . Instead , she was sprawled , unmoving , on the floor on the other side of the elbow room . The same cherry smudged and streak the floor between us .
I star down at my red hand .
No . I could n’t have . I crawl toward her , trying to make out the ascension and spill of her chest . dare myself to relate her human foot . To wake her up . But I could n’t make myself .
And here ’s the cover and author ’s note for Harbinger :
