Experience Arcade and Other Stories, The (Book)

The Experience Arcade and Other Stories is Van Pelt's fifth short story collection. It is introduced by Patrick Swenson.

Back of the Book
Jim Van Pelt is one of science fiction's most accomplished and prolific story writers, with over 150 published stories to his credit. This new collection, his fifth, consists of twenty-four of the thirty-five short stories Van Pelt sold from his write-a-story-a-week-for-a-year challenge he started in 2015. Every story has a brief teaser for readers, and every story story has a postscript for writers and teachers that talks about the thinking that went into the writing of the stories.
