Aurealis #64

by Dirk Strasser (Editor, Contributor), Austen Mengler (Illustrator), Edward Wang (Illustrator)

The opening story in Aurealis #64 begins: 'The seasick lover becomes a saltwater cistern. She built her first lover out of glass.' And these opening lines are no-where near the strangest things in Penny Stirling's 'Love Over Glass, Skin Under Glass'. Read this this controversial story that sparked a major disagreement among the Aurealis Editors. Also make sure you don’t miss the second story, 'Intelligent Design' by Marta Salek, an imaginative, sinister and clever story told from the perspective of a cyborg who has a unique and devastating viewpoint of life.
