Pope, Journey to Venus the Primeval World; Its Wonderful Creations and Gigantic Monsters, Boston, Arena Publishing Co., 1895. The book was a sequel to Pope's novel of the previous year, Journey to Mars. The Venus volume features the same hero and heroine, Lt.

O. Flower, ed., The Arena, Vol. 14 No. 3 (1895).Modern critics have noted the book largely for its depiction of giant dinosaur-like Venusian beasts. Pope's pair of novels on Mars and Venus (volumes in a projected Romances of the Planets series that the author never continued) were precursors of popular planetary adventure novels of the twentieth century by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Otis Adelbert Kline, and other writers.The original edition of Journey to Venus from Arena Publishing Co. featured sixteen illustrations by "Miss Fairfax and Mrs. McAuley."
