An obscure read this one, with zero written reviews on The Storygraph or Goodreads: a 1995 collection of New Zealand #SciFi short stories, many by unknown authors. I'd love to say this is packed with gems, but a few stories are quite poor, and although most are well written as prose even most of the better writers don't master the short story form: in many an intriguing SF high concept is introduced and described, but with little twist or development. The standout is easily #PhillipMann with two very different stories: one with a UFO landing in medieval Europe, and one with fictional characters coming to life and declaring war on humanity, led by a drunken, despotic Mickey Mouse. @bookstodon #bookstodon #NZBooks
