Make Believe (2009) - a retrospective or "best of" collection by Australian writer Terry Dowling. I would call this a "second generation" BEST OF, since it contains 8/13 of Antique Futures (1999) - his first "best of" collection. (Those other 5 stories can be found in another "recent" collection: Basic Black, from 2006.) The problem with collecting Terry Dowling is that most of his books were published by Australian publishers, or small-print-run U.S. editions. Which is a pity - since I've liked most everything I've read by Dowling. All of these stories have previously appeared in earlier collections by Dowling - from Australian publishers (only one of those had an American reprint.) I can recommend this as a good introduction to Dowling's work. (Introduction by Simon Brown) The stories first appeared in Wormwood (2), Omega SF. Digest (2), Rynosseros, Aphelion (2), Australian Short Stories 20, Blue Tyson, and Forever Shores - from 1982 to 2003. |
