Thanks to APOCALYPSE CONFIDENTIAL for including me in their STRANGE SKIES/WEIRD WORLDS anthology

Space is not the final frontier. It was our first frontier. If the panspermians are to be believed, life as we know it traveled through space, imbued with twinkling slivers of stardust, finally settling on an alien planet we named Earth.

And Earth is an alien planet. Beyond our horizons and beneath our feet exist vast constellations of the unknown, lost continents and hidden oceans. There is a hollow Earth spinning through the hallowed cosmos. Space is not a fixed location Up There, it is here; we are In It. If you ever dreamt of spacefaring, congratulations–you’re doing it now.

On this day of the Great North American Eclipse of 2024, join us for a symphony of the spheres, for explorations and extrapolations of worlds beyond, worlds within, and worlds in between, from sea to shining star.
