This just didn't do it for me. It was wooden, unengaging. I didn't finish it.

Forget the Handmaiden’s Tale, this is one of the most chilling and bizarre stories of a dystopian future I have ever read. 95% of the population has simply disappeared. Mira, one of the few humans remaining, constructs a community of sorts that she refers to as Zion. The survivors manage to eke out a living by scavenging left over items from life before the event. Several years later, one of the women, Lana, announces she’s pregnant, but what she gives birth to is not human, and this bizarre incident continues to play out with other women in the community. Any sense of normalcy is gone Lana leaves Zion with a man named Michael, who tells the community that the world beyond their gates is much better, safer, more normal. When Lana doesn’t return, Mira must decide whether to go in search of her friend or stay put in the relative safety of Zion. Super creepy, super scary, made me want to hide under the bed
