Aurealis 144 is bursting at the seams with speculative fiction wonders, from the mysterious encounters in Devil-May-Care by Michael Gardner, the quirky and ingenious Ask Bernard by Greg Foyster to the subtle and well-crafted worldbuilding of Pygmalion by J D Moyer. Our compelling non-fiction includes an interview with writer G R Matthews plus Lachlan Walter's timely investigation of Indigenous Australian Science Fiction. Of course, we always have a huge Reviews section and our internal artwork is second to none. Aurealis—a gift from the gods.
