Status Updates From The Year's Best Australian ...

This line from the first story: "devouring her sex and the rest of her body"... It's talking about the mud her dead body is in. Also describes water as "parting like a willing woman". Not sure yet if this is an underwater necromancy romance or just poorly written.

Devoured in only a couple of sittings. Review to come once chest infection has passed.

Couldn't finish Gary Kemble's 'Feast or Famine'. Wasn't very good breakfast reading. Will return to it when my stomach is less fragile.

To date favorite stories are: Stephen M Irwin's 'Hive' and Tess Kum's 'Acception' (perhaps my favorite story title of anything I've read this year).
