"We love hard sci-fi,” said Mark Schey. “BLACK BOX CHRONICLES is what happens after technology kills you. We wanted to take the readers on an emotional journey that shines a light on the last moments of a person’s life from a sci-fi perspective. All told through the lens of different award-winning artists interpreting the contents of a recovered flight data recorder."
“Over the last two years I’ve worked with many internationally award-winning artists at Magnetic Press,” said Chris Northrop. “I always wanted to bring them all under one title with a shared theme. Horrible Future is a place where original stories and ideas will thrive. I’m very excited for what Mark Schey and I have laid out for year two of production!”:
"When Chris and Mark asked me to work on concept art for BLACK BOX CHRONICLES I was stoked,” said Shane Molina. “Then they said 'let's make a book off of all your art.' I fell off my chair!"
