Kickstarter for "At The Edge"

"At The Edge" cover:

an astronaut in a battered spacesuit stands

atop a mountain range, helmet in hand, looking

down a long valley with a river winding

through it.

New Zealand and Australia has an interesting heritage of dark, dystopian speculative fiction aided by our history of living at the edge of the world, oceans our borders, next stop the Antarctic.

"At The Edge" is an anthology that aims to explore this liminal theme of our being physically cut off from the world. Published by Paper Road Press, and edited by Lee Murray and Dan Rabarts, the table of contents is a great representation of Australasian authors hard at work in the genre:

To help the print run of "At The Edge", Paper Road Press are running a Kickstarter. The goal is a modest $NZ1000, and rewards include the e-book of the anthology, e-bundles, short story critiques, a tuckerization, and a dinner critique session with the editors.

I'd love it if the word could be spread about this Kickstarter. I'm very proud of the story I wrote for the anthology, and the book will have a unique NZ/Aus flavour to it.
