In the middle of a great new forest that covers post-apocalyptic New York City – and its immediate environs – a group of women survivalists establishes a community dedicated to survive through strictly Amazonian principles, laws, and precepts. What surviving males ever enter the forest are hunted and captured solely to perpetuate the all-female community. Once the males’ procreative powers are exhausted the community converts them into (what else?): Lunch and dinner.

Author Helen O'Reilly is well known to educators and others as the creator of numerous books of fact, fiction, and poetry under her pen name, Helen H. Moore. In her previous "lives" as a Glaswegian and a New Yorker, she spent her formative years as something of a "spy in the house of love," gathering the authentic information, attitudes, and vernaculars that inform the world she so convincingly and compellingly creates in "Spunk, a Fable." Living and working in the Greater New York area, she has clearly absorbed the times and places she describes in this, her first novel for adults. "I wrote this book in response to the question, 'are men still necessary?' Clearly, I have a strong opinion. I have always considered myself 'a man's woman,' and I've married two, buried one, and given birth to three. The idea that men might ever be considered superfluous was clearly something that I couldn't jusr reject out of hand. Reading "Spunk" will, I hope, give you food for thought, too, as well as being a damn good read."
