This has got something for everyone - short stories, poems, essays, a Dylan Horrocks comic - which turned out to mean that most of it wasn't for me. (I have highly specific taste in poems, for instance: I need them to be telling a story, and preferably to do so in good metered rhyme.) But I did enjoy Elizabeth Knox's "Unobtainium", and though "Dead of Night" by Witi Ihimaera (with scientists Carmichael and Wiltshire) wasn't a unique concept it was told differently than I've seen it before, with some nice new twists.
Oddly I bounced entirely off the Margaret Mahy story. If you want to know what that's about you'll have to read it yourself. ( )
