There is also a wealth of non fiction with a plethora of reviews, as well as a short look at the recent World Science Fiction Convention held in London. plus another Sacred Cow article where a classic work is reviewed (in a light hearted manner) as if it had just been released. Just tons of good stuff!

Aurealis #75 Reviews

  • Lynxie

    Cecilia Quirk's 'Scattered Souls' and 'The Nevermaw' by Miles Hurt feature in this edition of Aurealis magazine.

    While I was intrigued by Scattered Souls I didn't find the story to be very creepy or dark, it read like a young adult story with hints of mysticism. I wanted a little more, perhaps a bit more of a twist or a little sting in the tail, alas it was missing.

    The Nevermaw offered a rather intellectual approach to the fantastical. This turned me off as I felt removed from it because of the academic style of writing.

    I liked the art in this edition, they matched the stories well and added a little oomph for a bit of a drab edition.

    If you want to try Aurealis magazine, perhaps start with

    I enjoyed both of the short stories but I didn't really enjoy the nonfiction portions. In particular I find the reviews of classic works as though they were being reviewed for the first time (in this case Lord of the Rings) to be overly contrived and somewhat stilted. Nevertheless, the fiction was worth reading.
