The MUP Encyclopaedia of Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy

This book will become the standard reference of the rapidly growing genre of Australian science fiction. Entries cover authors, book and story titles, important fanzines, important sub-genres and works published electronically. It contains works for adults, young adults and children and includes essays and articles by distinguished Australian scholars and writers in the field. “As the first and only guide of its kind to be published in Australia, it is the perfect handbook for anyone interested in Australian speculative fiction of all kinds. Whether one is new to the genre and is seeking some guidance or an old hand checking what has been included, or simply interested in a general anthropological sort of way, there's much to detain and interest the reader. . . a landmark in Australian literary history and publishing.” — The Australian “This book . . . is an excellent and interesting resource, with alphabetical listings of writers and their works, plus essays on various topics, such as indigenous mythology, dark fantasy, sf and f magazines, and much more. Highly recommended.” — New Englander Paul Collins has published stories in over 150 magazines and anthologies. His published books include The Government in Exile (a short story collection), The Wizard's Torment, and Strange Fruit.
