Dimension6, the electronic magazine of Australian speculative fiction brings you its sixth annual collection with all new stories from Cat Sparks, Jason Fischer, Mark Barnes, Deborah Sheldon, Aiki Flinthart, David Levell, Peter Ninnes, Chris Barnham, Matan Elul, and Michael McGlade. Enter Dimension6!
I’m a speculative fiction writer, editor and publisher, born in Scotland and now living in Wollongong NSW.
My long fiction includes The End Times of Markusz Zielinski, a hopeful apocalyptic tale at the end of the universe, Horizon, a deep space exploration political and ecological thriller/ murder mystery, which was published by HarperCollins, and the three book Lenticular series – Traitor’s Run, Traitor’s Bargain and Traitor’s War – a galaxy-spanning space opera of species slaughter, subjugation and treachery.
My short fiction has appeared in Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Aurealis Magazine, Oceans of the Mind and Agog! Fantastic Fiction.
I’m probably best known for being editor of Aurealis – Australian Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine from 2001 to 2004 and publisher with multi-award winning Australian independent press coeur de lion publishing from 2006 onwards. I also hosted 30 episodes of the Terra Incognita Speculative Fiction (TISF) Podcast from 2008 to 2011, and edited and produced Dimension6 speculative fiction electronic magazine from 2014 to 2020. My book reviews have appeared in Aurealis Magazine, on the TISF Podcast and the Newtown Review of Books website.
(Please note: I have a story in this collection, which I'm leaving out of my review.) This entertaining mix of spec-fic keeps you on the back foot! D6 2019 ranges from body horror to sci-fi to paranormal to dark fantasy, and then some. It keeps you guessing with surprises at every turn. Highly recommended.
