Throwback Thursday: ‘The Mechanics’ by Angela Melick

Reap and Repair

In ‘The Mechanics’ by Angela Melick, food isn’t the only resource that’s scarce and precious.

We are thrilled to be throwing it back to our first issue! And our motto ‘Good books for the price of a beer’ has graced our covers ever since. When we celebrated the release of Issue 1, we even offered some recommended libations to sip at storytime.

Here’s what we suggested for ‘The Mechanics’: “A different kind of dystopia needs a different kind of beer. We recommend a Japanese can. Whether it’s super-dry or malty is your choice, but make sure it’s from a vending machine.“

For more ‘Pulp Pairings’, check out this post. Talk about a throwback!

Enjoy the opening pages of ‘The Mechanics’, excerpted here, from the place where it all began: Issue 1, Winter 2014, ON SALE now until April 30th.
