The Brink by Austin Bunn The Brink is the impressive debut book by playwright, screenwriter, and fiction writer Austin Bunn. Bunn’s stories traverse worlds from online gaming to end-time cults, sometimes dipping into the fantastical, but they all deal in characters who are on the edge of a precipice of some kind in their lives. In “The Ledge,” a ship has literally sailed to the end of the world, and the crew discovers what might lie beyond. As Bunn has stated, he is drawn to “stories about the resilience and transformations that happen at the moment when one way of life ends and another begins.” 18 | P a g e
