The latest volume in Ticonderoga's award-winning 'Year's Best' series, 'The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror 2015' is just a few weeks away from publication. Editors Liz Grzyb and Talie Helene have selected 31 incredible stories, over 150,000 words, from Australia and New Zealand published in 2015.
