** Disclaimer: One of my stories appears in this issue **
Some great horror stories from some great Aussie writers in this issue of Midnight Echo. Deborah Sheldon has done a wonderful job of curating these vile and creepy imaginings around the theme of 'things are not what they seem'.
I especially enjoyed Renée De Visser's 'Keep Them Close' (winner of the AHWA Short Story Competition winner for 2018), Ian J. Middleton's 'The Wind Chimes' and Robyn O'Sullivan's 'A Tale of the Ainu'.
Perfect if you're wanting some quick, unsettling horror reads for the new year.

DISCLAIMER: I WROTE ONE OF THE STORIES IN MIDNIGHT ECHO #14
I loved this edition of Midnight Echo. Deb Sheldon has proved her worth as an editor. The stories are of a high calibre and, although they all fall under the descriptive umbrella of "things are not as they seem", the writing styles are varied and engaging. This is well worth including in your holiday reading list, and re-reading to pick up the nuances and hints that can be missed in the first instance.
