About this listen
From the acclaimed author of Yes, Daddy; It's Not the End of the World is a terrifying climate thriller, a vicious takedown of the uber-wealthy, and a queer family saga that isn't afraid to punch back.
It's 2044 and life is bleak for many Americans, but not for Mason Daunt. Safe in his Los Angeles mansion, Mason can remain blissfully unaware of the relentless wildfires engulfing California, the proliferation of violent right-wing militias, and the rampant authoritarianism destroying American society. He's so rich, in fact, that he and his partner Yunho Kim are throwing a 100-person, $100,000 baby shower to celebrate their newborn-on-the-way. When a potentially apocalyptic event hits Los Angeles on the day of their celebration, though, the wealthy gay couple refuses to cancel their party. Surely it’s not the end of the world? But as Mason runs a few last-minute errands, a staggering twist thrusts him into the mounting chaos, and threatens the lives of everyone he holds dear.
Shot through with biting wit, brutal gore, primal sex, and unexpected catharsis, It's Not the End of the World is a nerve-shredding roller coaster of a novel that will leave readers shocked, heartbroken, and inspired to question their most firmly held convictions. What happens when our current battles with climate change, capitalism, and white supremacy are pushed to their breaking points? And how can we find hope?©2025 Jonathan Parks-Ramage (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Critic reviews
It’s Not the End of the World reads like the best yap sesh you have with your friends after splitting a pitcher of mimosas at brunch...[Parks Ramage] distorts humanity just to the point of recognition, delivering a sharp-tongued satire indicting the current political landscape as well as human greed and apathy. (Liz Doupnik)
It’s Not the End of the World is a gonzo queer dystopic thriller. Jonathan Parks-Ramage explodes sentimental genre conventions with shoot-em-up style, satirical verve, and an exuberant view of the end. (Kyle Dillon Hertz)
A head-spinning sendup of our current catastrophe — bursting with gory guts but also deadly serious about trust, lust, and other complexities of human connection. (Jeremy Atherton Lin)
Scarily prescient, outrageously funny, and utterly original, It’s Not the End of the World has officially made “baby shower climate thriller” my new favorite genre. Parks-Ramage is that rarest of finds: a biting social satirist, a bonafide weirdo, and a writer of real conscience and heart. I devoured this book—and it, frankly, devoured me. (Coco Mellors)
