The Caravan Kindle Edition

by David R. Beshears (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars 14 ratings
See all formats and editions
Novella (66 print pages) adapted from the post-apocalyptic scifi/horror screenplay.

Novella placed finalist in a recent literary competition. Screenplay placed finalist, short-list finalist, q-finalist in several recent screenwriting competitions.

The Caravan is just one more tribe traveling a post-apocalyptic landscape, foraging through the dead cities of the past. The tribe is friendly and well-adapted to the nomadic life. But there is something unsettlingly dark underlying the pleasantness. After months on the trail, they settle outside an abandoned city for the winter. Foraging teams go in, looking to fill their wagons with supplies. Meanwhile, a band of marauders watches. They have their own way of getting what they want. And they want everything. This time, however, they are in for a bit of a surprise.

Industry feedback of the screenplay:
“Character descriptions are vivid… the dialog is excellent.”
“The concept is a very clever one, immediately calls to mind the tropes and conventions of a classic western while also mixing in the high concept of a science fiction story.”

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Pulp Fiction Reading
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020
Verified Purchase
I read the story in 2 sittings. Moves very quickly. Worth reading just for good quick entertainment. Lovers of Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, scifi/fantasy comic books will enjoy this book. At some point towards the end, I though that a particular reveal made the story predictable, until I realized that that moment was in fact the BIG reveal. It was subtle, and I did not in fact predict the ending. (Sorry that made no sense). I'm currently trying to build my classroom library (middle school), and I've decided to put this title in. Looking at his page on Amazon, he seems to be pretty prolific with these types of stories. If I like his other works, I might have a whole section of my shelf dedicated to to him.
