Courtney Crumrin, A Canticle for Leibowitz

[samvara]

• Courtney Crumrin (04) Monstrous Holiday by Ted Naifeh: Fire Thief's Tale plus another story about Courtney and her uncle on holiday. Dark, sad and delightful.
• A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller.: Apocalypse fiction split into three tales shadowing the fall, slow rise and fall of the human race. Heavy with portent and grim, has lovely descriptions of post nuclear-war mythology plus an endearing, awful prophet.
