Synopsis

Scott Sigler called Doucette’s cozy apocalypse story, “entertaining as hell.” Come see how the world ends, not with a bang, but a whatever . . .The whateverpocalypse. That’s what Touré, a twenty-something Cambridge coder, calls it after waking up one morning to find himself seemingly the only person left in the city. Once he finds Robbie and Carol, two equally disoriented Harvard freshmen, he realizes he isn’t alone, but the name sticks: Whateverpocalypse. But it doesn’t explain where everyone went. It doesn’t explain how the city became overgrown with vegetation in the space of a night. Or how wild animals with no fear of humans came to roam the streets.Add freakish weather to the mix, swings of temperature that spawn tornadoes one minute and snowstorms the next, and it seems things can’t get much weirder. Yet even as a handful of new survivors appear—Paul, a preacher as quick with a gun as a Bible verse; Win, a young professional with a horse; Bethany, a thirteen-year-old juvenile delinquent; and Ananda, an MIT astrophysics adjunct—life in Cambridge, Massachusetts gets stranger and stranger.The self-styled Apocalypse Seven are tired of questions with no answers. Tired of being hunted by things seen and unseen. Now, armed with curiosity, desperation, a shotgun, and a bow, they become the hunters. And that’s when things truly get weird.

Goodreads review by Nilufer on December 05, 2021

Wanderers meets Stand and Revolution series vibes. It’s not too close definition of this quiet mind spiraling, grey cell fryer, thought balloons popper, teeth gritting, nerve bending novel but at least it is a start! Seven strangers wake up in different places, finding out the earth they were living......more

Goodreads review by Celia on May 27, 2021

I won this e-arc in a Goodreads giveaway and I dropped all reads to start. I regret nothing. Give me a bunch of people surviving an apocalypse and I will buy your book. I don't care what the plot is, if the cover blows, or if it's full of flat characters, deus ex machina's or whatever. I. Will. Read......more

Goodreads review by Stitching on May 09, 2025

In the first line of this book's description on Amazon there's the bit "this cozy apocalypse" that's why I picked up the book. While there were some funny bits I really didn't get cozy so much as disconnected. Whateverpocalypse seems right because there's a whatever feeling to the whole thing and I......more

Goodreads review by Karen’s Library on March 20, 2021

Well that was... Interesting. This was a kind of Wanderers meets a reverse The Leftovers. Carol and Robbie wake up in their dorm rooms at Harvard to discover that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is gone. After a little exploration, they also realize that there are wild animals everywhere and that all......more

Goodreads review by Kelli on February 24, 2021

Apocalypse 7: A Monotone Metronome. Flighty Almost too cheesy, but a bit too flat to allow for that.  Not sure the distinction matters, as both aren't ideal and I'd have probably felt the same disappointment either way. Lack of connection. Lack of drama. Lack of excitement. Not an ideal description whe......more
