SPRAWL is an exciting new original anthology, edited by Alisa Krasnostein and published by Twelfth Planet Press, that will give readers from around the world a unique glimpse into the strange, dark, and often wondrous magics that fill the days and nights of Australia's dreaming cities and towns, homes and parks, and most of all, its endlessly stretching suburbs.… (plus d'informations)
An anthology of sff stories by Australian writers, published in 2010 in anticipation of that year’s Worldcon. They’re all pretty good. I particularly liked the opening by Tansy Rayner Roberts, “Relentless Adaptations”, which looks at a dystopian future for literature, and the sinister youth of Angela Slatter’s “Brisneyland by Night”. but I don’t think that there is a dud in the collection.

I really did not enjoy this anthology as a whole. I recommend reading "Walker" (Dirk Flinthart'), and 'Seed Dreams" (Liz Argall/Matt Hungh). Maybe "Neighbourhood Watch" (Barbara Robson) and 'Brisneyland by Night" (Angela Slatter). They will still be depressing stories, but at least they aren't the grindingly repetitive horror of the rest. Skip the rest unless you are feeling up to Unpleasant. If it was sold as horror, I'd probably not be so negative, but even then - they weren't horror stories, but rather horrible stories about horrible people. It reads as if this collection of 'Australian' writers are no such thing, but a group of people who live here, but hate the place. ( )
I savoured “Sprawl” over lunch breaks, dipping into it when I had time to spare. With a loose focus on urban fantasy and horror, each story in the collection comes from a unique place throughout the Australian urban landscape, evoking the suburbs and cities in all their variety; from the quiet country town to the busy inner city suburbs.
With a contemporary Australian outlook, Sprawl revealed glimpses of myth, horror and fantasy tales tucked into the corners of urban life. There was a unique sense of character and location arising from an environment that shelters people of many different cultures, all striving to find their own way of belonging.
Contemporary urban speculative fiction at it's best ( )
