Agog!Fantastic FictionAn Anthology of Fantasy, Imagination and WonderEdited by Cat SparksIntroduction by Sean Williams Agog! Press, 2002 ISBN: 0-958056-70-6 RRP: A$21.95 To purchase this book, go to Australian Online Bookshop. Visit the Agog! Press home page. "I wish I had the space to synopsize and comment on all the fine stories in Agog! Fantastic Fiction, but, alas, such is not the case. Let me nonetheless try to convey the merits of this important showcase from Down Under, compiled by editor Cat Sparks. Nearly thirty Australian writers -- including such well-known names as Stephen Dedman, Damien Broderick, and Terry Dowling -- contribute original stories in nearly every conceivable genre mode and style, proving that our austral neighbors understand and practice SF as wholeheartedly and inventively as we do here. There's not a loser in the lot, and it's unfair to cite just a few, but I'll do so anyway. Claire McKenna's 'Stealing Alice' is a blend of Greg Egan and Cordwainer Smith. Deborah Biancotti's 'King of All and the Metal Sentinel' conjures up memories of Brian Aldiss's 'But Who Can Replace a Man?', Kate Orman's 'Ticket to Backwards' dramatizes inadvertent time-travel in the manner of Michael Bishop's 'The Quickening.' And Geoffrey Maloney's 'The Imperfect Instantaneous People Mover' is a PKD-Sheckleyan romp. Send away for this collection and feel a new kinship with our Australian peers." -- Paul Di Filippo, Asimov's Science Fiction
