Aurealis #97

Rate this book
Aurealis #97 features the must read ‘The Year Ahead in Australian SF/Fantasy Publishing’, Catherine Moller’s unsettling ‘Hot Blood and Iron Teeth’, Melanie Rees’ genre-bending ‘Elementability’ and Jamie Brindle’s quirky ‘The New Life’. Our non-fiction is stellar, with Gillian Polack’s exploration of the work and impact of Cherry Wilder, while Daniel Thompson gets our science pulse racing with his analysis of Relativistic Projectiles. Of course, we also have reviews, the cult success of Secret Histories, and some of the best Fantasy/SF illustrations you’ll ever see. Aurealis – too good to miss.

Michael Pryor's bio
Check out my Fantasy podcast, 'The World Below the War in the Heavens' wherever you get your podcasts!

I was born in Swan Hill, Victoria. I spent my childhood in country Victoria and Melbourne before moving to Geelong at the age of 10. I lived in Geelong until I went to university in Melbourne after secondary school.

I currently live in Melbourne. I’ve worked as a drainer’s labourer, a truck driver, a bathroom accessories salesperson, an Internet consultant, a Multimedia Developer, a Publisher, in a scrap metal yard and as a secondary school teacher. Whew.

I’ve taught English, Literature, Drama, Legal Studies and Computer Studies.

I've published over thirty-five novels and more than sixty of my short stories have appeared in Australia and overseas in publications such as Overland and the New South Wales School Magazine. My writing moves from literary fiction to genre Science Fiction to slapstick humour, depending on my mood.

I’ve been shortlisted eleven times for the Aurealis Award for Speculative Fiction, and have also been nominated for a Ditmar award. My short stories have twice been featured in Gardner Dozois’ ‘Highly Recommended’ lists in The Year’s Best Science Fiction and The Year’s Best Fantasy. Nine of my books have been CBC Notable Books, I’ve been longlisted for a Golden Inky and I’ve been shortlisted for the WAYBRA Award. I’ve also twice won the Best and Fairest Award at West Brunswick Amateur Football Club.

My reviews tend toward the three word style of the trenchant critic, N. Molesworth.
