Reviews
"An apocalyptic tale unlike any other, The Late Bloomer is smartly written; with shades of Stephen King meeting Cormac McCarthy, a blistering pace and lyrical prose, it demands to be consumed. Falkin's take on the end of the world is intriguing, beautiful and tragic--a must-read." -- Kristen Zimmer , Amazon #1 bestselling author of The Gravity Between Us . "With pitch-perfect prose, Falkin has penned an irresistible and audacious coming-of-age novel that plumbs the depths of adolescence and global cataclysm in equal, page-turning measure. I predict The Late Bloomer will take it's place on the post-apocalyptic bestseller list, next to Station Eleven and The Stand ." -- Will Clarke , author of The Neon Palm of Madame Melançon & Lord Vishnu's Love Handles. "Harrowing, unsettling and exquisitely written, The Late Bloomer is part War of the Worlds , part Twilight Zone and part Shirley Jackson. It is an unforgettable unforgiving vision of the end of the world, of those who attempt to survive and those who wish to stop them. The images conjured here will haunt you long after putting it down. Good luck, dear reader." -- Louisa Luna , author of Two Girls Down "Imagine nature itself seething with Holden Caulfield's rage at adult phoniness. Now imagine what happens when [the children] inherit the planet. With The Late Bloomer , Mark Falkin combines an authentic portrait of twenty-first-century adolescence with a terrifying, and unsettlingly plausible, vision of the end of humanity as we know it." -- Christian TeBordo , Author of Toughlahoma and director of the MFA Program and assistant professor of English at Roosevelt University " The Late Bloomer is a standout novel -- a contemporary End of Days novel that grabs you by the throat and won't let go. Narrated in the unforgettable voice of Kevin March, the unlikely and resistant teenaged "Late Bloomer" whose prophetic dreams have marked him for leadership of the army of children who survive a world apocalypse reminiscent of The Great Floods, The Late Bloomer is an important cautionary tale that will haunt you long after you've finished the last page. With themes of good versus evil, the horrors of mob mentality, and the necessity of human empathy, The Late Bloomer gives strong nods to The Hunger Games, The Terminator, and The Lord of the Flies , wherein the beast resides within us all. The story's unexpected climax is a chilling perspective of a political era where it may seem that only our youth can be entrusted with society's moral compass." -- Martha Louise Hunter , author of Painting Juliana and host of Writing on the Air, "An apocalyptic tale unlike any other, The Late Bloomer is smartly written; with shades of Stephen King meeting Cormac McCarthy, a blistering pace and lyrical prose, it demands to be consumed.

Synopsis
"Falkin synthesizes multiple, unnerving apocalypse scenarios into something entirely new in this horror novel." Kirkus Reviews (starred review) The world experiences an abrupt and unthinkable cataclysm on the morning of October 29, 2018. Kevin March, high school band trombonist and wannabe writer playing hooky, is witness to its beginning. To stay alive, Kevin embarks on a journey that promises to change everything yet again. On his journey, into a digital recorder he chronicles his experiences at the end of his world. This book is a transcript of that recording. Depicting an unspeakable apocalypse unlike any seen in fiction--there are no zombies, viruses or virals, no doomsday asteroid, no aliens, no environmental cataclysm, no nuclear holocaust--with a Holden Caulfieldesque protagonist at his world's end, The Late Bloomer is both a companion piece to Lord of the Flies and a Bradburyian Halloween tale. The Late Bloomer is harrowing, grim and poignant in the way of Cormac McCarthy's The Road . Told in Kevin March's singular and unforgettable voice, delivering a gripping narrative with an unsparing climax as moving as it is terrifying, The Late Bloomer defies expectations of the genre and will haunt those who read it., A 2019 Kirkus Reviews Book of the Year "Falkin synthesizes multiple, unnerving apocalypse scenarios into something entirely new in this horror novel."
