This is great for several reason first of which is it is quick read and despite it's very dark tone could be appealing to YA and adult markets. I don't mean this was knock but complement, Abomination has a very simple straight forward no non-sense way of telling it's story. Coming off having read the experimental narrative of Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones, and the bloated underedited Fireman by Joe Hill.Abomination was a joy to read. So Whitta had my interest as Book of Eli, and when I read the concept it just several books in my To Be Read pile. (and by the way my dark fantasy novel Hunting the Moon Tribe has many influences and connects to JTTW) Over looked in our culture Journey to the West is one of the most important fantasy novels ever written. I know it's a little thing but his involement with a never produced film based on Journey to the West meant a alot to me.
I was very excited when I heard he had gotten the gig for writing Rogue One the first stand alone Star Wars film. That movie was excellently structured and you could just tell it have a great script as it's backbone. Book of Eli is a favorite of mine, and what I considered to be a underrated classic in one of my favorite genre of story post apocalyptic. I was very interested in this book from the first moment I knew it existed. Published July 2015 by Inkshares Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Horror (2015)
