Amongst the receding darkness of the early morning stood a building. A building made of grey and brown bricks. A building with tattered red awnings and clouded-out windows. A building that had not existed the night before.
It was perched at the corner of a long suburban road, nestled between two rows of derelict terraced houses. The road outside was dusty, battered and sunken with deep potholes. On the kerb was a street sign that read APOCALYPSE STREET.
About the book
Cali's world has no hope of survival - until he stumbles across an interdimensional corner shop that only appears in planets plagued by end-of-the world scenarios. Alien invasion? No problem. Robotic uprising? Easy. There's no apocalypse the corner shop can't fix... until Cali's world, that is.
Faced with his planet's extinction, Cali's only hope is to brave the dangers of the wasteland with Timbo, the shop's resident lizard boy. Can they find the source of the apocalypse and create a remedy before it's too late?
