Year's Best Australian Science Fiction And Fantasy, Volume 4

The critically acclaimed anthology series returns. Walk to the edge of reality and look out into worlds that just might be: human observers witness preparations for war on an alien planet; a serial killer with a fetish for collecting haunts a forensic psychiatrist; a knight and an animated puppet seek evil in a medieval city; Victorian era detectives seek a killer on a distant planetoid; friends find more than they expect on a hike into deserted bushland; an adolescent who speaks to the dead is called to a funeral. These are just a few of the adventures that wait inside. As always, the book includes an overview of the genre, a list of markets for writers, sources of Australian SF and fantasy, and recommended reading.
