Sinopse

When the world threatened to end, a select few went into an underground complex and left those above to survive any way they could. Scientist Faith Hamilton and her grown daughter Josie are two of the abandoned. A Barricade around the entrance to the bunker ensures those below would never be allowed out. Twenty years later they start hearing strange voices, seeing shadows within. Those below start to appear in the inner circle of the Barricade asking to be let out. Those above still refuse. Faith and her friends discover it hasnâÇÖt isolated them as they thought, that in fact there has been communication and manipulation by those underground all this time.'Stephanie Ellis worms her way under your skin with The Barricade, a monstrously grim dystopian tale exposing the human condition with all its frailties. Uncovering themes of abandonment, trauma, and mental health The Barricade examines exactly how far we might be prepared to go to survive the impossible, both as individuals and as a species. Provocative and compelling.' -Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories'In The Barricade, Ellis presents the worst kind of dystopia: one which is all too believable, especially in the actions of the few who remain. With a diverse cast, and a compellingly underrepresented choice of protagonist, the authorâÇÖs unique voice and perspective bring this post-apocalyptic world to chilling life.' - Kev Harrison, author of Shadow of the Hidden.'With The Barricade, Stephanie Ellis has created a story where the strength of older women is celebrated. Topics usually shied away from, such as menopause, are part of the story just as they are part of everyday life for many of us. Her heroines are human, and itâÇÖs the limitations they overcome that make them special. A riveting story that doesnâÇÖt flinch from the worst in us and, in spite of this, somehow left me feeling stronger. An empowering narrative that will lodge in your thoughts for a long while.' -Angela Yuriko Smith, 2x Bram Stoker Award«áWinner
