WARP 111 was reviewed in Guy Lillian’s TZD.

NB: Guy works from a template, hence the credit going to Cathy rather than Danny and Val. It should be correct for the next one! To view WARP 111, Click here.

Once upon a time one of the purposes of SF clubs was to put forth fanzines featuring work by the club members – Minneapolis had Rune, LASFS Shangri L’Affaires, New Orleans Nolazine. North of the border the practice still reigns,with excellent Warp, edited by the better-than-excellent Cathy Palmer-Lister. Class act: friendly, attractive, witty, inclusive. That could be either the editor or the genzine, but I better cut it out:it reads like I’m pitching woo. Anyway, a beautiful antique-ish cover by Ingrid Kallick leads to a brief lettercol, club news, and Keith Brathwaite’s anguished memorial to his friend and fellow MonSFFAn, Sylvan St-Pierre. Fan fiction and a good essay on “The Cold Equations”, one of SF’s most controversial and enduring stories, follow, as do a slew of decent genre reviews by Braithwaite. {Yes, I loved A Quiet Place II; no, I haven’t been able to see the “Zach Snyder cut” of Justice League [which I both fear – I loathed what Snyder did in Man of Steel – and anticipate] and never heard of The Nevers.) Donny Sichel’s report on the World Fantasy Con reminds us that the event will return to New Orleans in the near future … hopefully a near future where COVID is contained and Cathy & Co. can write up WFC for Warp.
