"As it became obvious they were not about to plunge to their deaths just yet, Bill gingerly took his hands off the steering wheel and rubbed his chin. He slowly opened the window and stuck his head out. There appeared to be nothing holding them up apart from the inky night air."

Being that my story is one of those contained in these pages and I know the other contributors also I can't make a truly unbiased review (obviously I think it's awesome and you should read it now). However I will level a challenge at you. One of these stories was written by a girl, sweet sixteen. I bet you can't tell which one.

Middle of the road stories ... nothing un-enjoyable. I am a huge fan of anthos and short stories and new authors, so I recommend checking this out to judge for yourself.
Anthologies are always hit or miss. While the number theme was interesting, a lot of the stories in this one were rough. Over all, not terrible, but also not worth a second glance.
18 is a selection of short stories from some of Australia's new and emerging Speculative Fiction authors. In the interests of full disclosure, I note that I am one of the contributing authors.
