Arkham: Tales from the Flipside: Winter 2021

by Christopher Jon Luke Dowgin, Lisa Deschenes, Frederik Pohl

Welcome,In this season’s issue, we have several tales of plagues, wars, broken promises, strange hangovers, evil gnomes, robots, and the ghost in the machine. First, we have Henry trying to abscond with a previously stolen tiara from the Tzar of Russia during the 1918 Pandemic on the eve of America’s entry to WWI. Next, we have a tale about locals forced to rent out their bodies to other souls after "The Day the Icicle Works Closes" by Frederik Pohl. It's followed by one nasty hangover when a young gentleman wakes up and finds himself in a hell of a lot of trouble in Chris Corkum’s "Dream Landscape" (the first in the Silver Dancer series). Lisa Deschenes’ "I Never Promised you a Rose Garden" warns us never to cross an angry little gnome. Then Harry Harrison brings us a tale of Robot civil rights in "The Velvet Glove". Last we bring you Vonnegut’s first story "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" about a man’s ability to end all wars or the world itself. Can you discover all of their secrets of how the tales fit together? Give it a read and find out.
