The Mess is an experiment with no attention span. We like the way our friend Scott Davis describes it: "Dick meets Chandler in an AOL chat room paratactic insanity."

A Science Fiction Serial online, The Mess comes out in short, scattered, but nevertheless accessible and humorous installments. It is not however afraid of being sharp and slick. The Mess doesn't assume that readers are dumb.
