Andrew Thompson writes an engaging and refreshingly inclusive piece on The Future in the Age, covering everyone from Ray Kurzweil to Cormac McCarthy, with nods to Damien Broderick and little old me:

"If it was just a matter of charting technology, it would be easy. But (unpredictable) people come into the mix. There can be strange and wonderful and terrible results."

Keith Stevenson has posted his review of Magic Dirt to the interweb (I've quoted this before but it'd be nice if Aurealis gets the clicks):

"This is a book no self-respecting lover of Australian speculative fiction can afford to be without."

ETA Keith has also posted reviews of Cenotaxis and Earth Ascendant here!

The novelette I wrote in 1991 that went on to become The Crooked Letter, first published in my collection Light Bodies Falling, is selected for reprint in Angela Challis's Australian Dark Fantasy & Horror Vol 3. In great company:

"Contributors include Garth Nix (New York Times bestseller), Sean Williams (New York Times bestseller), Margo Lanagan (Word Fantasy Award winner), and award winners Terry Dowling (Basic Black: Tales of Appropriate Fear), Richard Harland (The Black Crusade), Jason Nahrung (The Darkness Within), Martin Livings (Carnies)."

Lastly, the title story from Light Bodies Falling featured a giant spider crouching on a city building. Earlier this year, a group of puppeteers enacted that scene in Liverpool, little knowing that they were bringing one of my worst nightmares to life. Yaagh!

That's one big shoe you'd be needing, or a heck of a tank of bug spray :o

Puppeteers are a strange breed....

Indeed! I don't think they make newspapers that big.
