Out today is another episode of The BCS Audio Vault: 015: The Ascent of Unreason by Marie Brennan, read by Rajan Khanna, a tale of curiosity and brightness in her usually bleak Driftwood world.

Its airborne elements are also fitting with the stories forthcoming in BCS #166 and our new cover art debuting with this issue: “Floating Town,” by Takeshi Oga.

BCS Audio Vault 015: The Ascent of Unreason by Marie Brennan is introduced by the author, explaining her goal in writing a a story in the Driftwood setting that was fun; one in which the characters refused to let the nihilism of that setting grind them down.
