The
Outcast: The most recent anthology of short
stories, edited by Nicole Murphy. This anthology also
features stories from writers all over Australia.

Gastronomicon:
This is editor Stuart Barrow’s brilliant idea.
It’s a slim volume containing recipes and a short-short
story to go with each recipe. You can have your fiction
and eat it, too. So to speak. |

Encounters:
This one was edited by Donna Hanson and Maxine McArthur
(that’s me!). Donna and I felt that we needed
some gender balance in our editors. Besides, both of
us have finished having babies, so there was no possibility
of us following Chris and Michael’s lead in that
respect. Encounters, like Elsewhere, used a ‘blind
submission’ process, in which neither readers
nor editors knew who had written a submitted story until
a decision had been made whether to accept it or not.

Elsewhere:
Edited by Michael Barry, this collection has the theme
of fantastic places. The group gratefully received a
grant from ArtsACT to publish this anthology. Michael
and his wife had a baby while he was editing this book.

Machinations:
The second short story collection, edited by Chris Andrews.
The theme is fantastic designs, and this collection
is also now sold out. The group accepted stories from
all over Australia for this and the next anthologies.
Chris and his wife became proud parents while he was
editing this book. |

Nor
of Human: Short story collection on the theme
of fantastic creatures, edited by Geoff Maloney. This
was the first CSFG anthology, the book that Jack Dann
said “puts Canberra on the speculative fiction
map”. The idea for the theme came from a talk
that a local a yowie-hunter gave to the group. Nor of
Human has now sold out its second print run.
