In a near-future world where extreme weather events blanket the earth, the remaining human population is forced to move and adapt, guided only by an automated radio weather transmission. The Places Between follows these scattered journeys of survival. Journeys impeded by darkness and cruelty, and driven by hope.
Minasian writes with a lyricism and brutal clarity, rendering layered characters who must navigate the horrific manifestations of nature, and the wickedness and barbarity of humanity itself. With chapters that stand alone as their own short stories and also intertwine to create a larger overarching narrative, The Places Between explores the human condition when pushed toward annihilation.
