Terror Australis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Terror Australis: the Australian Horror and Fantasy Magazine (1987-1992) was Australia's first mass market horror magazine. It succeeded the Australian Horror and Fantasy Magazine (1984-87) edited by Barry Radburn and Stephen Studach. After working on AH&FM, Leigh Blackmore took over the subscription base on its demise and with co-editors Chris G.C. Sequeira and Bryce J. Stevens founded Terror Australis.

The magazine had a significant impact on the horror scene in Australia in the late eighties and early nineties and led to the publication of the mass-market horror anthology Terror Australis: Best Australian Horror (edited by Blackmore alone)(Hodder & Stoughton, 1993), a companion volume to Terry Dowling and Van Ikin's Mortal Fire: Best Australian SF (Hodder & Stoughton, 1993).
