Cathartes Aura and the Apocalypse Zoo - Free for July!

Cathartes Aura and the Apocalypse Zoo by Eighty Six the Poet is fairly unique in the world of post-apocalyptic fiction.  I've seen a lot of poems and I've seen a lot of novels, but until I came across this one, I'd never seen a post-apocalyptic "novel in verse"; specifically a 1000 line poem, 10 syllables per line, 10 lines per stanza, 10 stanzas per chapter, and 10 chapters overall.

And if that wasn't unique enough, it's narrated from the point of view of a captive turkey vulture...

So if that's enough to whet your appetite, head on over to the Fiction page, because Eighty Six is letting you read Cathartes Aura and the Apocalypse Zoo for free, at least for the next few weeks until the second part of the story, Cathartes Aura on the Road from Nowhere, is released in August.
