Australian Horror Stories by Bill Wannan

Horror, comes in many guises. This superb collection of short stories in an Australian setting conveys all its forms - from the vaguely disquieting to the terrifying.

Betrayal, murder and war form the basis for some stories, while others have the more subtle but no less disturbing themes of loneliness and the unbalanced mind; dread of the unknown, the inexplicable.

The setting of these stories varies from the past to the future, from the everyday to the exotic, but a dark thread of horror runs through them all.

Among the fine writers included in this chilling collection selected by Bill Wannan
are John Baxter, Olaf Ruhen, Micahel Wilding, John Morrison, Eric Lambert and Roland Robinson.
