In *In the Absence of Color*, Dawn R. Taylor crafts a haunting, satirical vision of a dystopian America spiraling into chaos under the shadow of authoritarian power. Through the eyes of President Andrew Bartholomew Troup, readers are swept into a speculative nightmare where political ambition, racial hatred, and environmental catastrophe collide in a deadly cocktail. As Troup ascends to the highest office, he becomes embroiled in secret plots to enforce a brutal “Thinning Herd Rights Act,” leading to mass executions, forced detentions, and societal collapse. Meanwhile, the planet itself seems to betray humanity, with climate
shifts, cosmic disturbances, and a mysterious loss of melanin threatening Earth’s very existence. Taylor’s razor-sharp satire exposes the dangerous allure of division, the corrupting influence of power, and the horrifying potential of societal neglect. Amidst the
chaos, characters grapple with betrayal, despair, and the loss of humanity, all while the world teeters on the brink of extinction. A visceral warning wrapped in dark humor; this
provocative tale warns us of the terrifying consequences of ignoring societal pitfalls and political trends. *In the Absence of Color* is a chilling mirror held up to our own world, an urgent call to recognize the peril before it’s too late.
