The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

In this book, Atwood returns to the territory she explored so effectively in The Handmaid's Tale, only this time the threat is much greater. In a future not that far distant from our own, the consequences of man's intervention in the natural world have become all too apparent. The precise nature of recent events remains unclear for much of the book but from early on it is apparent that some kind of biotechnological disaster has occurred, leaving the narrator, Snowman, who in another world was known as Jimmy, as possibly the last human on earth.
