The Late Bloomer Audiobook (Free)

The world experiences an abrupt and unthinkable cataclysm in the morning of October 29, 2018. Kevin March, senior high school music group trombonist and wannabe writer playing hooky, is witness to its beginning. To stay alive, Kevin embarks on a journey that promises to change everything just as before. On his trip, right into a digital recorder he chronicles his encounters at the end of his world. This book is usually a transcript of this recording.

Depicting an unspeakable apocalypse unlike any observed 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 normally both a partner piece to Lord of the Flies and a Bradburyian Halloween tale.

The Later Bloomer is harrowing, grim, and poignant in the way of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Informed in Kevin March’s singular and unforgettable voice, delivering a gripping narrative with an unsparing climax as shifting as it is usually terrifying, The Late Bloomer defies expectations of the genre and will haunt those that read it.
