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. Two horror-tinged offerings from Daniel Stride and Daniel Soule-the former with a story of a forest with a thirst for human blood and the latter with one of rationalism run amok-and an adventurous tale of a special kind of magic from Clint Spivey help round out this issue. Those five tales coupled with an excellent and eclectic letters section closes out the third year of Into the Ruins on a high note.
