The Comet Is Coming: The Afterlife

Read "The Afterlife" reviewed by Serena Antinucci


Apocalisse. Quando si infrangeranno i limiti dei suoni ci sarà solo una luce a guidarci nella vita dell'aldilà. Questa luce sarà potente, esplosiva, rossa come il deserto che calpesteremo, ignari del futuro, del passato, del presente. In questa terra non ci sarà più tempo, né spazio, tutto sarà stato annullato nella vita precedente. Non si lotterà più per la sopravvivenza, né si avrà paura della morte, si cercherà solo di risolvere gli algoritmi dei suoni, per decifrarne i messaggi in ...

Read "The Comet Is Coming at Black Box" reviewed by Ian Patterson
