The world is now a savage place, where nature is caustic and mankind is deadly. In other words, survival is just another job. Post-apocalyptic London has dragged itself back to a form of civilisation in the shape of the Quads, ruled by the PEA and a proxy-government in hopes to stem unrest within the masses of Walkers that keep the Known World turning. But life is hard. The Agents are merciless, the Bandits are returning and the Mists weaponize the very air. But as one young resident finds out, when the few things you cling to are taken away, life stops being about living. For Val, that's just not good enough. Toxic City is the stunning, dystopian debut novel from Dangel Angello. Embracing less science fiction and more of a totalitarian vision in the spirit of 1984, the futuristic setting of this nightmare narrative is both the future described in the X-Men 'Days of Future Past' and the prophetic fantasy-themed visions portrayed in The Hunger Games. Where society's worst nightmare has come to pass and biblical end times are upon us, Toxic City is a revelation in the dystopian genre and an amazing adventure for teenage and adult readers.
Dangel Angello is the pen name of Charlotte Teece. As a young child, teachers were quick to point out how far behind on her writing she was, to the point that even her own name was hard to spell. One teacher was familiar with her constant storytelling, so recommended that she start writing them down as a means of improving her writing. She did and instantly fell in love with the process, even if her spelling was atrocious and grammar was an alien concept to her! It wasn't until her late teens, after completing her first novel that came in at well over a thousand pages, that she realised she had the determination needed to make something of herself. Ten years and several manuscripts later, she was happy with her work. But whilst all her other works were fantastical and whimsy, her darker side truly wished to be set free. This path led to Toxic City. To her amazement, Britain's Next Bestseller wanted to make her gritty sci-fi a reality. Dangel lives in the North East of England.
