Synopsis

Small World drops us into a silent, broken Los Angeles. One man walks alone through moonlit streets, haunted by memories and hunted by what remains. He lives underground, surviving on scraps and fear, clinging to the hope that someone else might still be alive.As the nights stretch on, loneliness becomes more dangerous than hunger. Old dreams rise again: books, sunlight, human voices. When he takes one risky journey into the city, he discovers how deeply the world has changed. And why there may be no future left to save.William F. Nolan builds the dread slowly. Every sound matters. Every choice feels final. The mystery pulls you forward. The revelation hits hard.Nolan was one of the great voices of mid-century science fiction. He wrote across genres. Horror. Fantasy. Thriller. And, of course, science fiction. He understood isolation, fear, and what happens when humanity is pushed past the brink. His work helped define the darker edges of speculative storytelling.Small World shows why Nolan mattered. It is chilling. Lonely. Human. And unforgettable.

Goodreads review by Alex on September 11, 2021

The cover art and synopsis present this novel as being about Leyna who is shrunk to a miniature size and kept captive by persons unknown, and while this is part of the story it’s more about the people who have acted out this crazy undertaking, plus some other characters, than Leyna herself. The syno......more

Goodreads review by Jersy on May 08, 2025

This is pretty dated, but it's also such a fun and fast read. A perfect summer or travel read but also comicly dark. In a way, Tabitha writes more coarse and bawdy than her husband did at the time, at least when he wasn't writing under his pseudonym, but it's only tipping it toes into true horror. T......more
