Aftermath

Mini Review By Sarah Thompson

Here's a gen zine that was listed in the =Guide to B7 Erotica= by mistake. I'm not sure where I got the idea that it was an adult zine; probably from the zine list in the =Blakesindex=, which identifies this zine as adult-- but fails to so identify Avon's Gadget Works, Songs of Experience, Songs of Innocence, Southern Comfort, and The Unique Touch, so it isn't very reliable in this respect. Emma Abraham's B7 A-Z, which I've found to be much more reliable, doesn't identify =Aftermath= as adult.

The listings below are a combination of info gleaned from the Blakesindex, the B7 A-Z, and a partial photocopy of #2 on loan from Carol. In #2, the only things close to adult are the short story by Susan King, with Anna in bed with Avon, and the poem by Felicity Ryan, which has Tarrant thinking of Servalan; but both are well within the boundaries of what's usually considered gen.
