Forthcoming releases Fear Factor Terror Incognito Edited by Meenakshi Bharat & Sharon Rundle
Indian edition published by Picador India, July 2009;
Australian edition published by University of Western Australia Press, October 2009.
Fear Factor Terror Incognito features twenty stories from well known and emerging authors from Australia and the Indian subcontinent. Authors include David Malouf, Salman Rushdie, Neelum Saran Gour, Tom Keneally, Rosie Scott, Jeremy Fisher, Susanne Gervay, Tabish Khair, Denise Leith, Andrew Y M Kwong, Devika Brendon, Gulzar, Meera Kant, Guy Scotton, Sujata Sankranti, Kiran Nargarkar, Temsula Ao, Jaspreet Singh, Janhavi Acharekar and Meenakshi Bharat; with a foreword by Yasmine Gooneratne.
The result of this exciting collaborative venture is best expressed by Yasmine:
"In English and in English translation, uttered in many different voices like so many rockets launched from different points of a devastated landscape, there rises from the pages of this astonishing book the sound that today drowns every other concern in all but the most remote and isolated parts of the earth . . . The writers in the Bharat/Rundle anthology do not offer solutions. Instead, they lead readers along the hidden paths of an unfamiliar psychology to make their own discoveries."
Fear Factor Terror Incognito will be in the bookshops by October. Ask your local or online book shop to reserve a copy for you or go to the UWAP website:

Comments from Peter Bishop on my short story The Price Tag which is included in this anthology:
"I've known the work of Sharon Rundle for some years. Let me invent a category for writing such as Sharon's: quiet hauntings. You read the story, and hours later and then hours after that you realise it's still there in your mind:
'Since my father retired he has been roped into helping with his wife's good works. Laying up treasures in heaven, as she calls it.
After dinner she's a whirlwind in the kitchen, making cakes and tarts and biscuits for the old people. The rich smell of pastry and cooked fruit sends sweet messages to my stomach and I burn my tongue on a jam tart.
"Don't feel you have to wash up, dear," she says. "Just because I've been up to my elbows on my feet all day."'
Quiet but deadly."
Peter Bishop, Director of Varuna The Writers' House.
