Forget urban fantasy: suburban fantasy is where it’s at these days. What’s more, Australian suburban fantasy is clearly the at where it is. Wondering where you might get your hands on some of this sought-after fiction? Look no further than Twelfth Planet Press’s latest anthology Sprawl, which is now available for pre-order.
Le blurb from TPP’s website, for your perusal:
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.
