Aurealis #87 , the first to contain a story from a non-Aussie author, is out and it's a fantastic first issue for 2016. Just ask Tangent's Christos Antonaros , who raved about each and every story. This latest issue is packed with stuff you won't find anywhere else. Stuff like: "The Root Bridges" by Sean Monaghan "Elven Blades" by Ian Bell "Across the White Desert" by Deborah Sheldon I was lucky enough to interview bestselling Aussie fantasy author Trudi Canavan for this one and she has some great insights into world-building and working with chronic pain. Gillian Polack examines the work of Nevil Shute (and it's awesome), and there's more Secret History of Australia and book reviews. The bar has never been higher for Australia's oldest and best SF/F/H magazine. Whether you're a reader or a writer you need to be a part of it. Get it here .
