The Suicide Collectors
by David Oppegaard, Class of 2002

St. Olaf alum David Oppegaard describes his first novel as a blend of speculative horror and literary fiction. The Despair has plagued the earth for five years. Most of the world's population has inexplicably died by its own hand, and the few survivors struggle to remain alive. A Florida man named Norman takes an unprecedented stand against the Collectors, a group energized by gathering corpses, and then begins to journey westward where it's rumored a scientist in Seattle is working on a cure for the Despair. In a world ruled by death, it won't be easy to get there.
St. Martin's Press. Hardcover. $23.95
