In this anthology, our editor, Angela Meyer, pays tribute to the
undeniable cultural influence that American TV programs such as
Twilight Zone and Outer Limits have had on our lives 'down under'.
'These TV dramas,' Meyer says, ' were often metaphors for equality,
justice, the nuclear threat and more. Though they were just as
often pure, spooky fun.' Meyer has selected short stories and
microfiction which range from the fantastical and macabre to the
absurd. In Paddy O'Reilly's Reality TV, a guest is confronted with
her husband's infidelity in front of a live audience and Ali
Alizedah's Truth and Reconciliation satirizes American celebrity
television. Chris Flynn's Sealer's Cove has a nudist caught in a
time slip. Carmel Bird evokes Edgar Allan Poe when over-sized hares
incite the good folk of rural Victoria to commit criminal acts and
in Sticks and Stones, Ryan O'Neill has an academic attacked by a
demonic alphabet. Contributors include established and emerging
writers such as Marion Halligan, Krissy Kneen as well as new
talents. Angela Meyer is a Melbourne-based writer and reviewer. Her
fiction has been published in Seizure, Wet Ink, The Lifted Brow.
She has written on books for many publications including The Big
Issue, The Australian, and Crikey and she has interviewed authors
at festivals across Australia and overseas. A chapbook of her flash
fiction will be published by Inkerman & Blunt in 2014.
