Dark Pages, our anthology of dark fiction, was nominated in the best edited works category, but sadly didn’t win. However, guest judge, Rocky Wood, had this to say about the book:

Dark Pages 1 (and let’s hope there are more) is a treat – a collection of dark fiction ranging outside the horror genre (including science fiction) and including authors from outside Down Under. Marty Young’s neat little “Clip Notes” has the classic Twilight Zone feel to it and is but one example of what makes this anthology a deeply satisfying read.
