So rich, so rare, so exhilarating – Aurealis #185, our October 2025 issue, is all of that with the edgy 'Birdie' by John Pegios, the measured and unsettling 'Catch and Consume' by Ella T Holmes and the lingering creepiness of 'Hooked' by Caroline Barnard-Smith. These top shelf stories have stunning illustrations from Rayji de Guia, Simon Walpole and Rebecca Stewart respectively. On top of this feast we have fascinating non-fiction from Claire Fitzpatrick, Andrew Kolarik and Trevor Howis plus our comprehensive and absorbing Reviews section. Aurealis – the universe is ours.
