On your cell phone question, I would assume the character is in the land of no cell service. So that does not sound so outrageous.

True -- today... but in a few short years cell phone coverage if cell coverage is universal, then suddenly it sounds (needlessly) outdated. Might as well bulletproof it ahead of time...?
And here are some more new releases by Bruce "Mr. Magical Realism" Taylor...

An alternate universe? A different dimension? The "id" of America? Meet Anslenot and his tormentor/confident, a giant tarantula, as they wander through a blasted, desecrated landscape of broken ideals and shattered hopes. In this place, nothing is right. The Militant Lambs fight with the Opposition and no one knows whose side who is on. Add to that Martians... Venusians... Elvis.... To top it off, Anslenot is hounded by his dysfunctional family and upbringing...and legendary surrealist Franz Kafka makes Anslenot his honorary uncle. Nightmarish, strange, bizarre--the way things are to be? Or the way things--really are?
As for the Sequel: You thought Kafka's Uncle ended with------? You really thought the story ended there? Oh, no--
"As rich and poetic as Bradbury at his best."
--William F. Nolan, author of Logan's Run
"Bruce's stories are not strange; the world is, and he's separated himself from it in order to show us new realities, with remarkable clarity and insight."
--Brian Herbert, New York Times best-selling author, co-author of the
DUNE series
