New Maps: Vol. 1, No. 1: Winter 2021

by Nathanael Bonnell, Pierre Magdelaine, Dawn Vogel

As the industrial era drains away and new worlds take its place, the future proves to be a strange and multifarious place: home to people as different as a young lover from just outside town and a vagabond entomologist who’s walked across a continent; a devotee of a war divinity held in prison, and a devotee of a love divinity traveling with the circus; a dangerously officious manager and a grudge-toting disgruntled worker; a wise grandmother at home and a senior couple forced into squatting far from home. New stories, new worlds, new beginnings: come along for the journey in this first issue of New Maps.

[Caolan McMahon · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of short stories and articles on slow decline rather than the world after a catastrophic event. The stories themselves are a mixed bag - as you'd expect. I enjoyed "The Inspector's Legacy". The notes on cartography and story telling were fascinating too.

Worth picking up only if you find the premise interesting. I haven't subscribed to future issues, but it holds enough promise that I'll probably try another.
