Quake

Description
This novel is a deadpan, nihilistic account of how fear unravels people's emotions, how terror can be liberating and how people, even panhandlers, drifters, Hollywood cretins and hippies, manage to survive.Tags

This book, I believe, is a little ahead of its time. It's basically how man can revert to their baser and more primal urges in the face of adversity. At a scant 100 or so pages, this book is tight and very engaging.
