Dreaming Down-Under

Dreaming Down-Under

Cherry Wilder
3.6/5 ( ratings)
This is a collection of Australian speculative fiction, both "wild-side" fiction which has an edge of horror, fantasy or magical realism; and genre fiction - science fiction, fantasy and horror. The stories have comments by editors and thoughts by the writers.

Despite not having been published outside of Australia, Dreaming Down-Under won the 1999 World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology, and stories from its pages have appeared in many Year's Best anthologies. Now we can enjoy this excellent anthology without a round-the-globe trip.Internationally acclaimed author Harlan Ellison recently declared that this is the Golden Age of Australian Science Fiction. Dreaming Down-Under showcases this Golden Age with thirty-one exciting original stories by both acknowledged masters and hot new writers from -- where else? -- Down-Under.
