Author Chat + Book Signing with Ben Ryan
About
Join us to celebrate the release of Coming Out At The End Of The World, the debut YA novel from author Ben Ryan.Have you ever had a secret so BIG it feels like if you don’t tell someone the world will end? But you know the second you tell people, YOUR world, as you know it, will be gone? Alex has one. But then the world actually ended!
When his city is overrun by the undying – reanimated, bloodthirsty corpses – Alex realises that simply surviving the apocalypse is not enough. To truly live, he must finally come out to his tough and distant big brother, Brody, before it’s too late. But Alex doesn’t want to make things awkward with the only living family he has left. Not while they’re fighting their way through undying hordes, trying to escape a dead city and reach the sanctuary of an outback farm. And especially not when there is a huge, living-dead beast on their trail. And worst of all... What if Brody rejects him?
When Alex glimpses a boy with a beautiful smile, out there all alone in a world full of monsters, he realises that if he doesn’t tell Brody his big secret soon, it’ll be as if he never really lived. He will be no better than the undying corpses that now wander the earth.
