Sobre IBD

In the steps of speculative fiction masters Ray Bradbury and Margaret Atwood, ALT SAGAS bends genres to unfold the quandaries of our lives. Tragically displaced loyalty, a weird pocket of a forever war, aging, faith, social revolution, the perils of revenge magic and of physical nonconformity, and more are explored on worlds strange, yet eerily familiar. 'In five tour-de-force tales, space crusaders and lonely Calibans sift through the cultural rubble on a hunt for hope and connection. A Norse saga, a Shakespearean tragedy, a Wild West showdown: Huets’ imaginative takes on our cultural touchstones help to explain how we crashed our way into a frightening future; they also promise that we are more than the sum of our technology and our losses.' - Susann Cokal, The Kingdom of Little Wounds and Breath and Bones
