Breach: Issue #10: NZ and Australian SF, Horror and Dark Fantasy

We celebrate our 10th issue with a selection of 10 fantastic short stories and poems. Nikky Lee's "The Longest Hour" explores the consequences of an unplanned pregnancy in space, and Aurealis-nominated Arthur Robinson prepares for a very rainy day in "Big Girls Don't Cry".

Xander Stronach's "g = Gm/r2" is a gorgeous, heart-breaking ode to space elevators and the fathers who build them. Things get weird in "The Ethnographer's Gift" and "When Supermarkets Go Bad", while "Pilgrimage" and "The Glowing" look to Lemmy and HG Wells for their inspiration.

"The R Option" and "Blind Date" both concern sex of a strange sort, and Juleigh Howard-Hobson closes #10 with her Return Pain Spell, a working spell in sonnet form.

A great run of fiction from Australia and New Zealand. Enjoy!
