Set amid the cultural shift of the early 1960s, “No Shelter” follows charismatic typewriter salesman Cliff Burke as he uses fear over nuclear war to satisfy his unsavory habits. But no one in this story is who you expect them to be.

“No Shelter” was published alongside nine other pieces in The Blood of Englishmen, a historical fiction anthology that brings hidden histories to life—stories of survival, courage, loss, and hope from the margins of the past.
