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. ![]()
