I like to keep the world, to some degree, an implied setting.

I enjoyed The Mirage by M. Ruff. I'm reading Edgar Rice Burrough's Princess Of Mars right and loving it.

I loved The Weird (one of the stories in it inspired Blackalley in Discourse).

Original work has no floor and no ceiling. You can reach essentially zero readers or millions.

They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.
