Habitat - Paperback
Description
by Case Q. Kerns (Author)
Habitat invites us to witness a near-future dystopia filled with cloned animals, a sponsorship-based education system, and a subculture obsessed with body transplants as performance art--concluding 100 years in the future with a girl's post-apocalyptic quest to find her father.
In this novel told through linked narratives, a father embraces a grisly family tradition to help secure a better education for his daughter after a neighborhood barbecue. A young man crashes his family's meticulously planned annual gala to unveil his latest surgical transplant. Parents try to find a way to give their daughter the year's most sought-after Christmas gift--a clone of the canine star of a sci-fi television show.
Combining body horror, science fiction, and poignant family drama, Habitat is a genre-bending and wholly original first novel.
