It only takes one moment for everything to change... Kel wakes up from a coma only to find his best friend Bryce dead. Backstreets explored the guilt and traunma of Kel by the loss of his best friend. To cure his guilt, Kel journeys into the dark backstreets of town in search of his dead friend Bryce and uncovers a whole new world. Kel still believes he's out there, lost and alone.

Love a quest and tracking down copies of these short story collections seems to have become one of my major quests. A lot of these go back to the days of Mean Streets Magazine, and there have always been a few that elluded me. Very happy dancing when I finally spied a copy in Kill City during a recent trip to Melbourne.

As per the blurb this is a cross genre set of stories, many of which take the reader off in most unexpected directions. Crime morphing into Western, Science Fiction, Fairy Tales and Fantasy shouldn't really be all that surprising if you think about it - the context of a story doesn't really matter, the quality of the story-telling is paramount. And the writers in this collection are some of our best genre writers, and it's a relief to know that many are still writing to this day.

Great fun - so pleased I tracked down a copy of this collection. Okay - now everyone else can get out their own their own quest (we're not going to be falling over each other looking for this book :) )
