    About this ebook

    Australia's leading SF magazine is still kicking goals. Do yourself a favour and buy it. This latest issue features 'The Stain on the Lake' by Matthew J Morrison, a dark, chilling piece with characters to die for, and 'Wrecked' by Ephiny Gale, a new twist on the reality television theme, which is sort of 'Truman Show' meets 'Survivor' meets 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. Shane M Brown talks about how his Aurealis story is on the verge of making it to the silver screen, and Stephen Higgins provides his hilarious tongue-in-cheek advice to would-be writers in his 'So you want to be a Horror Writer'. Don't forget to check your answers to last issue's quiz. (If you feel you need to find the questions in our previous issue, you might be missing the point. Have a look, and you'll see what we mean.) The reviews pages look at a mixture of recently published works by some well-known and some lesser known authors.

      Feb 20, 2024

      Three decades ago, I celebrated my 30th birthday in the time-honoured tradition of all young people who think they are an adult but have no real idea about life, duty or personal responsibility – I got smashed. In fairness, I had quite a lot to get s
