Rick Kennett had a story in Beyond magazine, which I edited and published, in 1995, though that's ten years after his appearance in The Australian Horror & Fantasy Magazine. He was definitely, though, an accomplished writer by then. His was one of my favourites in that issue.

He was definitely, though, an accomplished writer by then. His was one of my favourites in that issue. He's a very good writer and pretty prolific (as well as doing the regular Jamesian Podcasts column for the current Ghosts & Scholars). His Ernie Pine stories in particular are a lot of fun - imaginative and quite spooky. I was just rereading his Ernie Pine maze story, "The Outsider", the other day. It features a ghostly emu - surely a first (and only?) - it's not as ridiculous as it sounds (rather chilling, in fact).

Any info on the Nick Cave content in #7? Wish I'd kept an old interview in NME where-in he provided an enthusiastic synopsis of deSade's Justine. Late. Ah, isfdb to the rescue. "Nick Cave, the Murder & the Melody," an essay by Steve Proposch. Type O Negative, Waif Wander's The White Maniac, a Doctor’s Tale (with intro & afterword by Lucy Sussex), and Cradle of Filth in feature #9.

I'll add the contents of the other issues shortly - ran out of steam last night. Yes, it's an article by Steve Proposch. #8-11 I don't have - those issues were published in the US.

These look fine. Where were they sold? They were printed in Australia, but had pretty wide distribution, especially in the US (not sure about the UK and Europe).
