UBC: Kerrigan, WWII Abandoned Places

[truepenny]

World War II Abandoned Places by Michael Kerrigan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


In the four book series I wrote under my real name, the Doctrine of Labyrinths, I invented the word "mikkary" to describe the feeling you get in an abandoned building. This book is FULL OF MIKKARY OMFG. So it's horrible and sad, and yet there's also something oddly comforting about the way that the forests and deserts and oceans are reclaiming the bunkers and the wrecked planes, and apparently colonies of rare bats roost in the farther reaches of the underground corridors of Miedzyrzecz.

The photographs are beautiful and just utterly fascinating. Highly recommended.
