Calamity Ice Bombs and the Coming Super Man. D.W. Matter Marches from Hell
The Coming World-Wide Calamity was originally published in 1943 and sold for a dime. There isn’t anything remarkable about it except the cover. One thing I’ve noticed about modern zealot evangelicals causing havoc on our school libraries, forcing away diversity progress electing a buffoon? You don’t hear them saying “Love thy neighbor” anymore. The other thing that bothers me? Whenever one of the disasters shown on this ridiculous book cover actually happens it’s God that caused it, not climate change or science or reason or denying fools in office. Sigh. The author, one D. W. “Matter” doesn’t matter at all, except for the notable prediction of 100 pound hailstones! The same drivel occurs in most of these disposable tracts. But I absolutely LOVE the cover.
