The "Helmut of Horror" is an existential nightmare akin to Sartre's, "No Exit." No beginning, middle or end, it is and has been and will be but it's not. Confused? Me too. But I really enjoyed reading this book.

It is an ordinary evening in July. Vic sits in front of her television set: "One minute Connie Chung was smiling her elegant understated smile and promising to be back in a moment, and then the TV set went out..."
A Power shortage, Vic is sure. But when she awakens the next morning, the world of human and animal life as she knows it has come to an end.
Stunned, grieving, incredulous, she locates a survivor. Nancy it too dazed by the catastrophe, but stubbornly determined to continue her life by the strait-laced rules she has always know.
Vic discovers a small band of female survivors. Among them is BJ, resilient and confident that she can provide some order and leadership, and willing to wait for Vic to deal with her sexual obsession with Nancy.
You will be fascinated to the final page by this distinctive and absorbing tale of life in a post-holocaust world.
