The Heart of the Mission, Matthew R. Davis , single work novella fantasy horror

The Black Shuck, Brian Craddock , single work novella horror fantasy

'This is the story of The Black Shuck, a legendary beast that stalks Refuge every 20 years. It's also Darren Marsh's story. It's also the story of a mysterious figure who rolls into Refuge with four crows for company. How do these things all relate? And what lies beneath Refuge anyway?'

      A shared world, centred on the town of Refuge. The works were published in Australia by Australian and New Zealand authors, but contributors also included American, British, and European writers. Refuge itself is said to resemble Canberra, but is more a potential future Canberra than a representation of the current city. The stories draw from a variety of fictional inspirations, including H.P. Lovecraft and Clive Barker's Hellraiser universe.

      In addition to Australian authors, the shared universe includes the work of international authors such as Lee Murray, Paul Kane, Noel Osualdini, Ramsey Campbell, Traci McBride, E.J. McLaughlin, Mark Allan Gunnells, Pete Sutton, and Amdi Silvestri.
