Claire Fuller and Nick Holdstock at Edinburgh International Book Festival

Available for over a year

The end appears to be nigh in these two sparkling debut novels. Claire Fuller’s Our Endless Numbered Days is about a girl whose survivalist father takes her to a forest shack to save her from the end of the world. Edinburgh-based Nick Holdstock’s ambitious The Casualties recounts the final weeks of an eccentric cast of characters before the apocalypse arrives. Recorded at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on 17 August 2015.
