The Book of the Unnamed Midwife (The Road to Nowhere, #1)

by Meg Elison

Haven’t seen a live dog or cat since the city. Remember seeing cats eating the dead. No dogs. Everyone in the city had a stupid little pug or poodle or designer crossbreed. Saw none at all. Maybe they got the fever, too? Cats 1, dogs 0.

Spin straw into gold, bring babies back from the dead, arise from the morgue, and walk, but never tell, never tell, never tell, anything, nothing, and I am nobody. Nemo. Nothing.
