Aurealis #69

By Dirk Strasser (Editor)

The April issue of Aurealis features Richard Viskovic's 'The Electric Itch', which is guaranteed to make you scratch just thinking about the technology depicted, and Mick Spadaro's 'It Came From A Party Supplies Store', which is one of those rarities—an SF story that aims to be funny, and actually is funny. Don’t miss another Stephen Higgins’ classic from the archives: 'So, you want to be a science fiction writer'. There’s also our Tim Hehir interview where the author of 'Julius and the Watchmaker' talks about playwriting, Google-bait and the logic behind rearranging inter-dimensional atoms.
