Last Week's Apocalypse

In Douglas Lain's, Last Week's Apocalypse, Gore Vidal meets Philip K. Dick, with this collection of stories. These stories present electric messiahs, identity constructs, the Beatles, and even a nuclear Armageddon, which serve as comic foils for Lain's everyman characters. Here is an America where packets of Sea Monkeys arrive in the mail containing secret messages, and the girl next door can breathe underwater. With Last Week's Apocalypse, Douglas Lain arrives with a punch line and a warning.
