Abstract
Reviewed by: Dark Inside Kate Quealy-Gainer Roberts, Jeyn. Dark Inside. Simon, 2011. 329p. ISBN 978-1-4424-2351-0 $17.99 R Gr. 8–12. In this apocalyptic novel, the end of the world brings not only earthquakes and tsunamis but also a dark force that turns humans into psychotic creatures bent on murder. Clementine barely escapes being rounded up and killed with the rest of her midwestern town by two infected neighbors; Mason is the lone survivor of suicide bombing at his small Canadian high school; Michael flees his hometown after realizing the two brutal murders he witnessed were not isolated incidents. The three teens all head west toward rumors of a safe haven in Vancouver, where they meet Aries, who has been holed up in a bombed-out store, fighting off the bloodthirsty “Baggers.” Amidst the recent glut of doomsday scenarios, Roberts makes her story stand out by focusing both on the physical challenges of finding safety in a world gone mad as well as the psychological devastation experienced by each of the teens. The terror of seeing friends suddenly transformed into monsters is keenly felt, but it is the teens’ disillusionment with themselves, and particularly their ability or willingness (or lack thereof) to lead that is most affecting. Playing the hero is a bit harder than they’ve been led to believe, and each of them discovers that the guilt of being a survivor is nothing compared to the emotional toll of having to make the hard decisions. The characters’ struggles with their circumstances and their limits are vividly portrayed, and the storylines seamlessly coalesce into a thrilling climax. Readers looking to prepare themselves for the end of the world might do well to start here. [End Page 273] Copyright © 2012 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
