Anyone Can Die: Every major character except Travis and Don dies.Aliens in Cardiff: Carnivorous jam in Brisbane (although it's implied to have covered all of Australia).After the End: Starts during the day the jam broke out, and the story runs over the week immediately after it.Action Survivor: Tim tries a little too hard to be this.Travis and his friend Tim are forced to band together with a group of other survivors, and together they attempt to stay alive until rescue hopefully arrives, which is really tricky when you can't get down to street level without getting eaten. The problem, however, is that the substance has one major characteristic that it doesn't share with jam: it devours any organic matter that comes too close to it, including humans. Travis, an unemployed everyman from Brisbane, wakes up one morning to discover that the city has been covered in a thick layer of a red, sticky substance that smells distinctly of strawberry, not too much unlike jam. Jam is a post-apocalyptic novel from 2012 by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, with a twist, and even a couple of satirical jabs at some of the apocalypse genre's recurring tropes. ![]()
