Dimension6, the electronic magazine of Australian speculative fiction brings you its seventh and final annual collection with all new stories from Ben Peek, Joanne Anderton, Simon Petrie, J. Ashley-Smith, Deborah Sheldon, Tais Teng, Damir Salkovic, Charlotte Platt, Dominic Teague and Amber Hayward. Enter Dimension6!
I'm the author of The Lenticular Series, a space opera trilogy of species slaughter, invasion and rebellion where humanity are the bad guys, and the SF thriller Horizon. I'm a past editor of Aurealis - Australian Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine from 2001 to 2004. I hosted 30 episodes of the Terra Incognita Speculative Fiction Podcast, and edited and published Dimension6 the free Australian speculative fiction electronic magazine from 2014 to 2020.
(Please note: I have a story in this anthology, which I'm leaving out of my review.) This is Coeur De Lion's last Dimension6 anthology, and what an incredible swansong it is. Thanks to editor Keith Stevenson for choosing such a world-class range of horror, sci-fi and fantasy stories. Lots to love here, but my favourite was the flawlessly written "Cargo" by Damir Salkovic.
