In 2013, Alex Shaw published a small novel called The Cartographer’s Handbook, the first in a series called The New Century Multiverse. The premise is alt history, where post-Civil War America is suddenly overcome with a plague of dangerous monsters that overwhelm the Reconstruction, and bring the nation to its knees. The series is not about its fall, however, but about the heroes that help bring it back from the brink, and step into a wider world that is not the one they knew. New mysteries to unlock, magics to discover, and worlds to explore. Ten years later, the New Century Multiverse is now thirteen books strong, with more on the way. It has had 2 major story arcs, an Avengers style coming together of the heroes of its various books, and multiple worlds and genres to explore. This is its first fan podcast. Through The Wind Door is a deep dive exploration of the novels and their corresponding audiodramas, along with interviews of the cast and creators. Accessible to new readers and long time fans, join Greg and Toby as they share thoughts about this engaging series.

"... because this story acts as the starting point for this whole series, it kind of has to convey the breakdown of everything."
Greg and Toby continue their analysis of Let Them Go, with the first four chapters of Part 2 of the novel. Here we do some more analysis of our heroes, discuss the importance of titles and how you meet or subvert expectations, the use of both diegetic sound and background music... and how in a horror narrative, it can always get worse before the end.
Spoilers for chapters 6-9. Potential spoilers for Harry Potter, Pitch Black, Aliens, and John Wick.
