POST-APOCALYPTIC FICTION IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
24August
Prince Edward Island turns the apocalypse inward: one bridge as lifeline and vulnerability, maritime weather, and communities forced into close quarters. On PEI, isolation is enclosure, not emptiness.
Stéphane Roy is a lifelong reader and writer with a deep love for science fiction, apocalyptic worlds, and tightly constructed mysteries. This is his first novel. He lives in the Yukon with his dog and his aquarium, where long winters, silence, and wide, sometimes glowing, skies leave plenty of room for imagining the end of the world, and what might come after it. He is also waiting, with cautious optimism, for the aliens to finally reveal themselves and straighten us all out.
