"... you will not find any zombies, vampires or other monsters. No, the monsters are quite human in this one."

Grave robbing requires a corpse, so at most, this was all just simple thievery.
Rhamuel and the last of his family, Abranyah, travel their barren world, shack to shack, selling tinctures to keep a full belly and evading the dogmatists to keep their throats safe. Time turned funny after The Whatever, an apocalyptic event that few remember and even fewer can explain, danger now as commonplace as the unrecognizable relics of war, and the madman Aphulan—along with an iron rule over his small township—may hold the answers. With a cure for The Sick and a duty to protect their family, Rhamuel and Abranyah set off on a journey to the "other place," the days before The Whatever, and ready themselves for a glimpse into what happened, and what was always meant to happen next.

"... every once in a while, a book gets listed that causes me to suspend my neutral stance and come out publicly in loud favor if it. This has happened less than a dozen times since we started the site back in '05, and I'm doing it again today. Wow, but Tincture is an outstanding listen! ... I loved it. And if you find the description interesting, I can pretty much assure you'll love it, too."

"If you are looking for a post apocalyptic adventure of a slightly different taste, one where great story is not only valued, but also, if I may say so... beautiful, well crafted prose, then I have a story for you, times as they were." "It really is quite fantastic, in my humble opinion."
