Dark Harvest by Cat Sparks

Dark Harvest by Cat Sparks

Multiple award-winning author Cat Sparks writes science fiction with a distinctly Australian flavour - stories steeped in the desperate anarchy of Mad Max futures, redolent with scorching sun and the harshness of desert sands, but her narratives reach deeper than that. In her tales of ordinary people adapting to post-apocalyptic futures, she casts a light on what it means to be human; the good and the bad, the noble and the shameful.

Dark Harvest gathers together Cat's best short fiction of recent years, as selected by the author herself: fourteen stories, two of them novelettes, including one brand new tale and two Ditmar Award winners.
