The Two Sisters or Douglas Mery, Next to Nothing

The Two Sisters; or Douglas Mery; Next to Nothing is a riotous ride through the end times. Ridiculous humor and chilling horror ride roughshod over traditional apocalyptic storytelling. Two clairvoyant sisters have journeyed into the wilderness in search of their long lost mother; instead they find a man without a future, perform brain surgery, and reveal the contents of their underwear drawer. All in the same time it takes to bake a chicken! (Not for the faint of heart or the feeble-minded.)
