![]() The story follows a young girl called Hanna, whose grandmother tells her tales of a season called winter which once existed beyond the dome, but is not catered for inside its atmosphere-regulated carapace. Whatever caused this to happen is never explored, but the pacing and atmosphere actually benefit from this omission, we all like a good mystery after all! Cocoa Weather is no exception here, as Debbie explores a dystopian future in which the remainder of humanity lives inside great domes, insulated from the world beyond. Let’s take a look at what we got as a result, shall we? I will choose a handful of my favourite stories and, without and spoilers, talk you through my thoughts on them, lucky you eh!ĭebbie is one of Skullgate Media’s foremost contributors, and her writing is always powerful and well-realised. ![]() Each writer follows this brief nicely, with various approaches taken and many different narratives formed as a result. The premise is very simple: each short story can be about pretty much anything, as long as it is themed toward that coldest season of all. Nevertheless, here we are, back on the old blog again, how I have missed throwing my ramblings up on here, and to that one poor reader whose comments were stuck in “pending” for about six months… sorry!Īnyway, today we finally get around to reviewing Skullgate Media’s winter anthology, Winter Wonders, compiled by the ever hard-working CD Storiz and Chris Durston. I write this review on New Year’s Day, 2022, I was supposed to get it finished weeks ago, but several events derailed my plan, and I must apologise to SKullgate Media and all of the contributing writers for the bloody delay. “Winter is coming”, said Sean Bean in Game of Thrones that one time.Īnd he was right, winter was indeed coming, and now it is here. Disclaimer: I was sent an ebook copy of this book as an ARC reviewer by the publisher.
