REVIEWS

 

Joseph Matheny successfully did just that, and the Liminal Trilogy grapples with the four decades of fallout and history since.

Statio Numero completes a multimedia project that has traveled from ebook to audio book to a pdf format which integrates the prior forms into itself. Providing music to establish ambiance, videos progressing the plot, ftp servers with narrative clues, the reader finds themselves joining the protagonists in disjoint time and feeling uncertain about the dividing line between story and history.

Along the journey, we are provided with a revelation of the methods; Antero Alli’s Paratheater, chemical derangement of the senses, lucid dreaming are just a few of them. Matheny provides warnings to be taken seriously by all of those who are willing to risk catastrophe for what they seek. We get glimpses of the happenings that might have been during the short corporate embrace of Alternate Reality Gaming, before the sponsors moved on to Q-Anon and kin.

With such great ambitions, it’s difficult to believe how often Matheny nails it. Highly recommended. -Cole Tucker

Ever feel like you’re coming undone? Why not go all the way? – Garret Daun

The intensity almost made me cry. –Deb

Joseph Matheny’s Liminal Cycle is an object of genuine American strangeness (or perhaps madness), the kind that reaches out and grabs you. As the final act, Statio Numero terrifies and fascinates—a technical marvel from a master craftsman which undermines expectations of how storytelling can operate as a technology. I’ve never read anything like it. – Sequoyah Kennedy, The Nonsense Bazaar

Thank you for opening the doors and sharing the alternate places told by your imagination. –RC3

This review is writing me more than I am writing it, I can no longer distinguish right from left, and ever since I began interacting with the Liminal Cycle, I began hearing quiet carnival music in the distance. 10/10! – Mimi C.

Did Joseph Matheny & Jason Nunes create Station Numero, or did Station Numero create them and the strange, wondrous world it opened within its pages. When you finish the Statio Numero, go to a place you have never been, drive or walk to a crossroads, a fork in the road, a place with a few paths. See which path pulls you……Then STOP, close your eyes for a moment, Then open them and quickly choose another without thinking and GO. You may find yourself in the dark, mysterious, wonderous lands in the Liminal Spaces. -Rob Conn
