The Making of Rosalie's Revenge: An Introduction

The third part of the Rosalie trilogy, Rosalie's Revenge features gun violence, military femicide and impending nuclear Armageddon, all of which has an atmosphere of overwhelming bleakness. The book's first section is a stalk-and-slash of Rosalie hunting the armed thugs who have infiltrated the facility. The second half is a paranoid race through Pacific City to prevent The Politician and The Cowboy from unleashing nuclear destruction. Much of the book wallows in darkness, whether it be the hockey-mask wearing thugs competing to see who was the worst, Laura's harrowing Christmas-set story of how she became a car, or the final nuclear showdown. For such a bleak and nasty book, Rosalie's Revenge ends with a hint of hope as the protagonist finds themselves in a new time and place.
