Summary: A set of vingnette shorts set in a post collapse society, using a three M title structure
Review: These have a very hope punk feel to them, focused more on the minutia of daily life than I usually see in post collapse fiction. I particularly love how the characters are often kind, but very much within the boundaries of their own interests. Often I see writers struggle to make that work, seeing 'good people' as the ones who are selflessly doing things despite their own inclination. And 'bad people' as the ones who do what they want.
Where most people, who are able to provide mutual aid sustainably are the ones who find a way to fold together things that sustain them with the help they can offer.
I particularly love the Mallard short. Both as a semiverbal waterfowl obsessed weirdo. And as a show of how even someone who falls so far out of the 'norm' can be viewed as a help to the community.
