This is the book that caused so much consternation when I used it for Teaser Tuesday. It’s an anthology of Australian fantasy, science fiction and horror. This is the final issue and if it’s anything to go by the rest of them must have been absolutely fantastic. It is a ...

This is a lovely collection of fiction, the beauty of this is that each story is under 750 words so if you’re short of time and still want to read you can just take it one story at a time. I didn’t but maybe I should have as each story ...
I went into this topic at AussieCon 4 with preconceptions about horror only to have them totally overturned. The panel was composed of Lucy Sussex, Marty Young, Stewart Mayne and Kyla Ward. I assumed I knew what horror was and that I’d never read any before Stephen King so I ...
