Review

"A disturbing and memorable story."
- John Moralee, author of The Boneyard and Journal of the Living

"Bleak, unsettling, and totally brutal."
- Yolanda Sfetsos, author of The Bone Factory, The Wired City, and Wall of Dolls

"There were multiple moments while I was reading that my mouth flew open in disbelief, which is a good thing, I love books that chew you up and get you just staring blankly at the page unable to process what the hell just happened."
- OhNoBooks

"A 5 STAR RATING and a spot on the Wall of Fame! A great and complex story."
- Damaged Skull

"Bleaker and darker than anything I've ever read before. I admire Weber's ability to create such vividly written scenes."
- Horror Addicts

How far would you go to survive?
Irma has already decided. There is nothing she won’t do to keep her family alive in this harsh, hot world. She's already murdered another family to take their home--an easily defensible island control tower with a ready supply of fish.When a hurricane churns the waters at the base of the tower, driving away the fish, and rips off the roof, Irma decides to abandon their water-logged home. She moves her tribe to the mainland. Unfortunately, the mainland is so hot they must seek shelter from the sun each morning to survive. It is also already inhabited by tribes of people guarding scarce resources who don’t welcome Irma’s people.Irma is more than willing to engage and fight for her tribe, but Lucy is aghast at Irma’s depravity. Lucy believes there are moral limits one should not cross. Limits Irma has crossed without hesitation. But when Lucy’s own children are endangered, she must decide where her own limits lie.This book absolutely not for children. Adult themes, extreme and graphic violence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Post apocalyptic chiller!
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2022

What does the world look like after a climate crash? How does society adapt? Seeing this through the eyes of a mother, doing everything she can to protect her children and making choices with unintended and horrific consequences…makes this story a chilling and personal view of the human response to an all too real impending disaster. The story caught me up in the first couple of pages and swept me away. A great read! Thank you T.C. Weber! Keep telling your stories!

A nice twist on the post- Apocolyptical genre. Reminiscent of Cognac McCarthy's The Road. Proof you don't need Zombies to make a compelling story.

This is a good easy read. It has a few gorey visualizations. Great for thinking about what we might create if we don't get focus on our commopn interests together.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Survivors
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2022
A post-apocalyptic novel typically assumes a big disaster of some kind, whether something natural, the spread of a massive disease, war, or something else. While this story feels much like some of the post-apocalyptic novels I’ve read, I’m not sure it fits that. A dystopian novel typically imagines the direction some segment of society is trying to get the world to move, assumes a slippery slope worst case, and then shows the imagined results. It’s not pretty. I think it would be fair to call this book dystopian, but it differs in one major way. The world it imagines is not what will happen if government and society change in some fashion, but what is likely to happen if we don’t change. Essentially it imagines the world in the not-so-distant future if we don’t address climate change, figuring out how to stop and even reverse it. It doesn’t paint a pretty picture.

At the heart of the story is Lucy, a young lady and mother of two. She and her kids are now a part of a small group of people who have managed to survive in spite of fires, flooding, lack of food and limited functional infrastructure. Very few humans are still alive and running into another group is problematic as they are just as likely to want to take what Lucy and her group have, leaving them dead, as they are to join forces for the mutual benefit of both groups. (Not that the leader of Lucy’s group is going to want to treat the other group any differently.)

Lucy’s experiences and struggles got me wondering how I would react in this kind of situation and what the right reactions should be. It makes for an intense, thought provoking read, not only wondering how you’d react in the same situation, but also what you can do to reduce the odds of the world reaching the point chronicled in this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun post-apocalyptic survival story
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2022
3.5/5

This is my first time reading something by this author, and I had a good time!

The Survivors is a grim post-apocalyptic tale centered around a mother named Lucy and her struggle to survive with her small group in a seemingly never ending wasteland.

First off, I just want to say I was a little shaken by this story. I'm not lost on global warming and the issues of climate change. This was a take on what could happen to the world if nothing is done, and the consequences sure are frightening. Insane storms, dwindling resources, unforgiving heat. The list could go on, and occurrences like these are a constant part of Lucy's miserable life.

I sympathized with Lucy's plight, especially since she was born after the events that caused her grim lifestyle. I liked how adamant she was about protecting her daughter and son. It made her feel real as a mother. That being said, her character was a little flawed. I wished her sense of morality was a bit stronger. In places she felt complacent, and while it moved the story forward it made me think less of her as an individual.

The plot was fun and unpredictable. Terrible things keep happening, and Lucy and her group have to keep rolling with the punches. Things did start off a bit slow for me, but once I got used to the writing style I had less trouble blazing through. I liked that the author didn't hold back on some of the more graphic scenes. It really nailed in how desperate things were in this apocalypse.

All in all, this was a nice post-apocalyptic survival story with some good twists and turns. If you're a fan of this genre, give it a try! I think you'll enjoy it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Discordant
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2022
Set in a dystopic novel, Lucy and her young daughter live with a small group of people. The leader is determined to survive, and uses violence to control her group and displace others. When a storm floods their home, they are forced to leave and seek a different path.

This was an odd book. The world and its back-story did not feel well developed. The characters personalities and their actions did not always gel, making the book feel very discordant. Overall, not a book that I would re-read or recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Survivors
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2022
I had a feeling I would like The Survivors by T.C. Weber but… I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!

If post-apocalyptic horror is a genre you love, you’re missing out if you pass on The Survivors. Climate change has made the planet nearly inhabitable. I found the commentary on climate change very realistic and that makes this story even more unerving for me. The idea that if things don’t change, and keep heading in the direction it is, this seems a realistic future. Terrifying, honestly! And a testament to brilliant writing.

At the heart of this story is Lucy and her children who are part of a small group trying to survive. She is a relatable character and watching her struggles made me wonder how I would react in this situation (probably not well).

Overall, this is a fantastic read. Horror at its finest with a realistic nature that made it even scarier. Highly recommended.
