Aurealis #194 by Michael Pryor

Aurealis #194 is proud to present the elusive 'Boy Leaves Girl Inside a Giant Octopus' by Cameron Semmens, cleverly illustrated by Matt Bissett-Johnson, the artful 'Form a Shape, Besides Yourself' by C.H. Pearce sensitively illustrated by Chris Catlin and the engrossing 'The Vineman of Nancy' by Benjamin George Coles richly illustrated by Joel Bisaillon. Our wide-ranging non-fiction rollout is 'How Pop Culture and A.I. Interacted from 2000 to 2025' by Lynne Lumsden Green, 'Who Put All These Tentacles In My Eldritch Horror Story?' by Annie Mills and 'Conservative Mythology in Weapons (2025)' by Ani White. Naturally, this issue also includes our reliably insightful Reviews section, for the latest in genre reading. Aurealis, the choice of all engimatic obelisks!
