Book synopsis:

Lithium has just graduated college and wants nothing more than to sleep in late on summer mornings and occasionally hit his younger brother with a stick. One morning, he wakes up to find that the rest of humanity has disappeared, destroyed in a man-made apocalypse — but somehow his family survived. Drug-and-grief-addled Mom; his brothers, suicidal Brat and jelly-spined Grant; his Dad the zombie. Lithium is the tormented middle child, but he's the last middle child on Earth. As far as he is concerned, that means he gets the write the rules from here on out.

Author Bio:

Ian Donnell Arbuckle lives in the Okanogan highlands of Washington state which can be found by starting in Seattle and driving in the general direction of boredom. He loves it there. When he isn't writing, he speaks soothingly to computers and gets paid for it.
