Description:

Decades after a nuclear catastrophe, the survivors of Orangeville, Ontario, have rebuilt their community around the institutions that survived the old world. At the centre of it all stands the Orange Lodge, where the Mayor governs with an increasingly unquestioned authority.

Nathalie, the town’s secretary and keeper of its official records, has a front-row seat to the machinery of power. As political tensions grow and strange changes begin to affect the town, she documents the meetings, decisions, and carefully worded explanations through which a community learns to live with the increasingly inexplicable.

In Orangeville, the truth is not necessarily what happened. It is what makes it into the minutes.

Reader's Review:

The Peels is a strong piece of post-apocalyptic political horror, with the potential to be one of the more memorable stories in a collection built around the persistence of human institutions after civilization's collapse. Its most unsettling insight is that the apocalypse has destroyed the old world without necessarily destroying its habits. The town has lost much of its material civilization, but it has preserved the procedures through which power legitimizes itself, protects its allies, and converts the unacceptable into the officially acceptable. The supernatural horror gives that insight a memorable physical form. The satire makes it recognizable. The ending makes it difficult to dismiss.

Author Details:

STÉPHANE C. ROY

Stéphane Roy is a lifelong reader and writer with a deep love for science fiction, apocalyptic worlds, and tightly constructed mysteries. This is his first novel. He lives in the Yukon with his dog and his aquarium, where long winters, silence, and wide, sometimes glowing, skies leave plenty of room for imagining the end of the world, and what might come after it. He is also waiting, with cautious optimism, for the aliens to finally reveal themselves and straighten us all out.
