    • 13-52. Forty Stories

    By Harper Perennial

    Last year, after twelve stories,
    we took temporary leave.
    We owe you thanks,
    for your patience.
    We also owe you stories.
    Here they are.
    Forty new pieces of work,
    some rich, some strange,
    all surprising.
    Taken together,
    they fill me with awe.

    On July 17, we’ll also make Forty Stories available as an ebook through all the major retailers.
    For free, for good.

    Thank you for waiting. And enjoy.

      Let’s see if I understand. Someone started a project called “52 stories” and bought a URL. After releasing 12 stories, they stopped for unknown reasons. Now, as if getting a monkey off their back, they release “the other 40″ implied stories. Man, that must be a relief! The rest of that internship will be a piece of cake!
