After the Rain
The aftermath of rain, be it showers, storms or floods, can change the landscape. In this book, fifteen of Australia’s best and brightest speculative fiction authors offer literal and figurative interpretations of what follows rain, in this reality and others.
From the earliest of bible stories to World War II Germany, from tiny creatures grown of raindrops to alien planets and future worlds, After the Rain considers the changes rain can bring, if one steps slight left of reality.

Yeah, yeah, it's bad form to rate your own anthos, I know. But just in case anyone was wondering why I rate Jo Anderton so highly, even though Tanyana isn't my super-duper favourite protagonist ever, it's because of her story in this collection, "From the Dry Heart to the Sea," which is AMAZINGLY EXCELLENT.
(Other favourites: "The Birth of Water Cities" by Angela Rega, "Mouseskin" by Kathleen Jennings, "Offerings" by Suzanne J Willis and "The Shadow on the City of my Sky" by Robert Hoge. That last one which definitely appears here in "After the Rain", and not actually in "Dreaming Again" nor in "Aurealis", sorry for that little mix-up Rob, hahaha)
