REVIEW: Wool by Hugh Howey
Wool by Hugh Howey is set in a post-apocalyptic world where people live in vast, underground silos.
This isn’t about how I saw some obese person in the mall and thought to myself, “I’d never want a fat person in my apocalypse party because they’ll ruin everything.
No, this is about me being a chunk monster and realizing that I’m at a huge disadvantage and might want to either do something about it or look it in the eye and acknowledge it while planning my survival.
With everything from how to maintain your dictatorship in your post-apoc compound, to what shoes to wear, we’re a post-apocalyptic girl’s dream site.
Come the chaos of the apocalypse, people are going to die. Maybe en masse. Maybe slowly, but surely. Maybe by accidents. But definitely by murder. And that’s okay.
Every so often we’ll need to kill some fool who just refuses to act right or find their way to our good side. Congrats, Fool. You’re going to be an example; your life officially has meaning.

There are enough people in the world with enough mistrust to easily create chaos unrelated to the direct source of danger.
RAGE comes to your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch with the hit of the wastelands, Mutant Bash TV! This intense first-person shooter casts you in the starring role of a post-apocalyptic game show where you’ll be stalked by hungry mutants while you scour pulse-pounding levels for ammo and cash pick-ups. Make a deal with J.K Stiles, the show’s menacing host, and see if you have what it takes to survive this carnage-filled carnival of death!
I’d like to introduce to you, readers of In Case of Survival, Macabry T. Cat. What, you ask, does a Feline have anything to do with surviving the apocalypse? Let’s see here:
It has recently occurred to Macabry—what, with mystical Mayan calendars and Evangelical Christians—that the Apocalypse might be imminent.
What’s a cat to do?
Well, that depends on the form Dear Doomsday decides to take.
For instance, in the event there is a Zombie Apocalypse, Macabry suggests perfecting ones’ Brain Harvesting Ability…
…and afterwards, honing those Brain-Eating Etiquette skills.
