15. Zombiecorns - John Green
Read from January 27 to March 1
(From novella introduction)
Dearest Reader,
This is a bad zombie apocalypse novella. It was written in a hurry. It is riddled with inconsistencies. And it never quite arrives at whatever point it sought to make. But remember: The $25 you donated to charity in exchange for this steaming mess of prose will help our species shuffle along, and I hope you’ll feel warmed by your good deed as you read. Thank you for decreasing the overall worldwide level of suck, and as they say in my hometown: Don’t forget to be awesome.
Best wishes!
John Green

7. The Sequel - John Green
Read in January
The first section of John Green’s unfinished, abandoned novel THE SEQUEL, which is a sequel to a novel that doesn’t exist called THE ODD AT SEA. About the story, John says “THE SEQUEL contains a lot of the ideas that ended up in THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, although it’s a very different kind of story. I worked on THE SEQUEL between 2008 and 2010 before finally putting it aside. There is of course a REASON why I abandoned it: It isn’t very good. But it has some moments I still like, and I’m hoping seeing a draft like this will provide a window into one writer’s process. And of course I want to raise some money for the HPA!”
THE SEQUEL is the story of a young woman named Hannah al-Hajji who finds herself alone in the world after the novel in which she is a character ends. Everyone else in the novel disappears, but she for some reason is left with us. The story costars a young student chaplain, recently graduated from college, who happens to have read the novel that Hannah was a minor character in. The selection is 6,437 words long.
