Demonstrating the diversity of deindustrial science fiction, this issue brings stories told from both the human and non-human perspective. And between Alistair Herbert's succinct portrait of a future hunter and part one of Violet Bertelsen's sprawling novella detailing the lives found within the future village of La Vezita, this issue contains both the longest and shortest stories yet published in Into the Ruins. Coupled with stories of a forest with a thirst for human blood, rationalism run amok, and a special kind of magic-not to mention an excellent and eclectic letters section-this issue closes out the third year of Into the Ruins on a high note.
