Old Venus

Old Venus is a "retro Venus science fiction"-themed anthology edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, published on March 3, 2015. It's a follow-up to the anthology Old Mars (2013), both of them written in the planetary romance tradition. All of Old Venus stories are set on the planet Venus as styled in the pre-space probe pulp magazines of the 1930s through the 1950s, when the planet was presumed to have a high likelihood of being habitable.
