Andrew Shaffer

"In the apocalyptic world we live in, Mother Nature is angry. Danger waits at every turn, and catastrophes like the Los Angeles sharknados have taught us that we need to be ready for anything ... But fear not. [This book] is the first and only comprehensive guide to surviving the very worst that Mother Nature can throw our way. Inside this life-saving reference, youll find vital information about dozens of unnatural disasters and ungodly monsters that can injure, maim, or kill you, from arachnoquakes and ice twisters to piranhacondas and mega pythons"--Page 4 of cover.

How to Survive a Sharknado and Other Unnatural Disasters

         Another Scarelastic author!  This book is quite far removed from the horror novels I had purchased that day, but it is definitely my favorite so far. 

            This is clearly not a novel.  It’s written as a genuine survival guide with the intention of helping you survive the most nefarious of potential evils.  I’ve personally never experienced a Sharknado, but I feel strongly that I am now well equipped to get through one intact (but likely a tad beat-up).  This book even provides guidance on how to survive a combination of any of these disasters, which I found especially useful. 

            The ingenuity of this book is what I love the most.  There is a level of imagination that I haven’t run across since I was doing  my student-teaching in an elementary classroom.  Somehow, Shaffer managed to maintain his childhood creativity despite being a grown human in the year 2024 (though he is obviously jaded by potential supernatural entities).  There isn’t much more I can say about this one.  It’s clever, it’s thoroughly entertaining, and I laughed out loud from start to finish.
