I am Michael Ray Laemmle. I hail from the world-historical town of Atomic City, New Mexico. I grew up in this strange and beautiful place. After long sojourns in Seattle, New York, and Santa Fe, I have returned. Coming full circle to tell macabre tales of the region.

Atomic City is the birthplace of the Atomic Bomb, and where the Nuclear Age went to kindergarten. Just up the road from the restaurant that claims to have invented the breakfast burrito - but that can't be, can it? A breakfast burrito is just eggs, potato, and cheese.

Aside from being home to countless renowned scientists over the years, Judy Blume lived here in the 1970s. She thought it was a little boring. Which, hey, fair enough - it's a quiet place. She wrote a book that takes place in town, Tiger Eyes. Nobody talks about it. Weird, right? Maybe it stunk. It's never mentioned in the same breath as Ain't Ya There, Egads? It's Me Margaret (and I'm Menstruating).
