New Book :: Worlds End

Worlds End by George Myers Jr.
Paycock Press, January 2025

Richly illustrated in color, George Myers Jr.’s novel Worlds End is a singular achievement, a one-of-a-kind tale about a time-obsessed historian and naturalist who’s trying to have his ephemeral life’s work included in his town’s time capsule. The illustrated Worlds End is told episodically through the items in the narrator’s map cabinet, where he has stored his research and memories about vanishing species, Mary Shelley, a beekeeper’s wife, a World War I ambulance driver, Marco Polo, and a woman with a prehensile ponytail. Myers blends the real and remembered in a haunting story about all that slips away. Myers also the author of Fast Talk with Writers and Mixers: On Hybrid Writing.
