A quick reminder that First Encounters includes 10 stories of first encounters: a voodoo clarinet, a time travel sperm collector, aliens in a supermarket, the ghost of Jimmy Hoffa, feral vampires, a scientist inventing a new reality, and more… Venture into the unknown while reading these shorts filled with crazy science, magic, horror, humor, and suspense.
And it’s not our last anthology. We are currently working on Second Law, which is also the theme our authors been having fun reinventing. The cover reveal will happen soon, so come back frequently to catch a glimpse and read an interview with our cover artist, Lauren Curtis, an artist I love and have learned many things from. The anthology is expected to release mid- to late-summer.
