Sea-Hearts, Margo Lanagan , single work novella fantasy (p. 11-83)
Iron Temple, Trent Jamieson , single work novella science fiction (p. 87-170)
Wives, Paul Haines , single work novella horror

In a future Australia ruled by criminal cartels, women are vastly outnumbered by men, leading men to go to haunting lengths to procure (and subsequently utterly control) a wife. One of Paul Haines's most anthologised works, 'Wives' is also rather contentious for the brutality of the world that it shows.

The Absent Men, Louise Katz , single work novella fantasy (p. 367-504)
