Fifty Two Encounters

Announcing Fifty Two Encounters

Coming Tuesday, January 1, 2008: “The Glass Scarab”, the first installment of Fifty Two Encounters, the weekly journal of interplanetary meetngs.

About the Project

Fifty Two Encounters presents a short story each week that imagines an encounter between the inhabitants of Venus, Earth, and Mars. Each tale stands alone: though some themes and ideas might resurface over the course of the project, don’t expect a “foolish consistency” to spoil the fun. The relationship between the planets will be imagined anew with each story.

Visit each Tuesday morning, beginning on January 1, 2008, for the latest addition.
