description: Introduced by Jeff VanderMeer welcome to a luxury hotel at the end of the world in this post-apocalyptic 1967 dystopia ... The day we came up from the shelters four people were found dead on the steps of the hotel.Welcome to Termush: a luxury coastal resort like no other. All the wealthy guests are survivors: preppers who reserved rooms long before the Disaster. Inside they embrace exclusive radiation shelters ambient music and lavish provisions; outside radioactive dust falls on the sculpture park security men step over dead birds and a reconnaissance party embarks.Despite weathering a nuclear apocalypse their problems are only just beginning. Soon the Management begins censoring news; disruptive guests are sedated; initial generosity towards Strangers ceases as fears of contamination and limited resources grow. But as the numbers - and desperation - of external survivors increase they must decide what it means to forge a new moral code at the end (or beginning?) of the world ...
