This collection is mostly apocalyptic or dystopian stories by authors from Australia and New Zealand. Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy - both Dark and Futuristic - are all encountered here, at the Edge of the world. It was not easy to find, and I don't recall how it ended up on my to-read pile, but it was worth the wait.
My favorite stories were probably EG Wilson's "12-36", Jodi Cleghorn's "The Leaves no Longer Fall" and David Versace's "Seven Excerpts From Season One". Unfortunately the last story, AC Buchanan's "And Still the Forests Grow Though We Are Gone", didn't resonate with me.
It appears editor Lee Murray has written some horror fiction also, and I look forward to checking that out in the future. As a new author to me, she gets the nod for my 2020 Women of Genre Fiction category.
