Happy New Year,

From all of us here at Clark's World Magazine to your family.

I hope that 2017 is a year full of hope and success and creativity. Our first story for the month of

January 2017 is titled The Ghost Ship Anastasia and is by Clark's World Familiar, Rich Larson.

Rich Larson was born in West Africa,

has studied in Rhode Island, and worked in Spain,

and now writes from Edmonton, Alberta.

His short work has been nominated for the Theodore Sturgeon

and appears in numerous years best anthologies,

as well as in magazines such as Asimov's Analogs,

Clark's World, F and S. F. N. S. SF, Interzone Strange Horizons, Light Speed, and Apex.

It's a quite impressive list of magazines.

You can find Rich at his website, W Larson. tumbler.com.

And if you like what you hear, go back to September 2016 for The Green Man cometh.

May 2016 brought you Jonas and the Fox. January 2016 brought you extraction

request. October 2015 brought you ice and February 2015 brought you meshed.

So I hope with whatever New Year's resolutions that you're coming up with right now or that you've already started. I hope one of them is to take care of

yourself a little, relax, and to let me tell you more stories.

The bioship hung in orbit. Tendrals extended like a desiccated squid.

Silas watched it grow larger each day from the viewport

and the cryohold, where he went to be alone

with Halley's body and get high.
