“It’s only poison”
Rot and decay. The slow slipping of a world into numerous apocalypse, run on incomprehensible sludge. Our lifeblood.
My favourite stories were definitely in the second half. These felt more tangible and Real.
If the first half is Rot, the second half is Ruin.
My favourites would have to be Chemical Valley, Cruelty, The Pit, and Dream Haven.
The stories in this book gave me insight into the question, “In the face of never-ending crisis, a dying world, and personal ruin, how do we continue?”
I don’t think the question is answered, but it does paint a picture of toxic smog, human desire, and smelt. How all three are more interconnected than we’d care to admit.
What I know is that as many of these stories came to an end, the characters became familiar and I wanted for more.
