    About this ebook

    Issue #02 of Australia and NZ's newest SF/Horror fiction magazine is here. Featuring brand new short stories by Jessica Nelson-Tyers, Alfie Simpson, Jesse Hayward, Lucy-Jane Walsh and Carlington Black, with cover art by Oliver Hayes.

    Our second issue takes you to the deepest parts of Earth's oceans and out again to the Edge of the universe, with a stop on the way for Jesse Hayward's three-year mission to Europa. In "The Free Range Option", Jessica Nelson-Tyers goes grocery shopping in a world of fantastical creatures, while Lucy-Jane Walsh paints the world in "Blue". And for the second time, Oliver Hayes kicks in our eyeholes with his cover art.

    Breach is a bi-monthly digital zine with a focus on new and emerging Australian and New Zealand writers and artists.

      Lambs To The Laughter

      Feb 26, 2024

      Good news. The Lamb National is back on. What do you mean you have no idea what the Lamb National is? I suppose it is possible that not everyone is as obsessed with sheep as I am. If you are not, I suggest you take up sheep as an obsession as soon as

      ‘What are you doing?” Greg asked. “I am,” I announced proudly, in my best Country Women’s Institute voice, “making elderflower cordial.” He looked at me for a long moment, shook his head sadly, and said, “I feel sorry for you.” This was extremely rud

      I moved to the vegetation section. There was a footprint in a pool of red juice where someone had gone for a skid, and this was the strange part – the tread of a shoe was delineated in it. Who wore shoes?

      The screaming of a mandrake distracted me. It’s weird the way they start squawking of a sudden as soon as they defrost. They were all identical – 3 kilos each and perfectly rounded with proportional limbs. I don’t know what’s done with the malformed specimens. Perhaps I should start a petition.
