This Is Where It Ends

"This Is Where It Ends" by Marieke Nijkamp is a gripping, thought-provoking and brutal novel about a school shooting and a boy with a gun that everybody has a reason to fear.

 

In Marieke Nijkamp’s New York Times "This Is Where It Ends" we follow a school shooting minute by minute on a fictional school in Alabama. After the principal’s speech and welcome to the students and a new semester the doors of the auditorium are suddenly closed and locked. And then the shooting begins. The next 54 minutes their greatest nightmare comes alive.
