Breach – Issue #08: NZ and Australian SF, Horror and Dark Fantasy

Our 8th issue skews heavily to horror, covering a few different subgenres by some amazing writers. Deborah Sheldon (Contrition, Thylacines) starts things off with “For Weirdless Days and Weary Nights”, a dark tale about friends discovering an abandoned campsite.

Jessica Nelson-Tyers and David Stevens follow with “Hit and Rot” and “Baby, Cold Outside”, two stories that may make you think twice the next time you get in a car.

Ferne Merrylees’ mournful fantasy “Garage Sale of Lost and Unwanted Things” offers a brief respite before William Cook’s brutal “Death Comes Calling”.

Carlington Black’s darkly comic “The New Suit” pits two men against each other, while Sam M. Phillips goes to a bleak place in “Twisted Labyrinth”.

Here we have a brilliant collection of stories from across Australia and New Zealand, by new, emerging and established authors.

And to top it off, regular contributor Claire Fitzpatrick shows off her art skills with her first Breach cover.
