Description
Originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, July 1951, the story “Pen Pal” by Stephen Marlowe introduces us to Matilda, a young woman looking for love by submitting letters to a literary magazine. That’s something much more common when the story was published in 1951 and probably pretty close to using a dating app these days. When she thinks she’s found the love of her life, things get really strange.<br /><br />SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…<br />“Pen Pal” by Stephen Marlowe: <a href="https://amzn.to/3AnH3m9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://amzn.to/3AnH3m9</a><br />= = = = =<br />(<i>Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
