We think of New Zealand literature as matter of fact, no-nonsense, social realism territory. But beneath the stoic surface we seem to have an extraordinary fantasy life. Margaret Mahy, The Vintner's Luck, comic-books and comedy horror films. It took a Kiwi to come up with The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and don't even mention the Lord of the Rings and Narnia movies, all but one directed by New Zealanders. And now an anthology of home-grown sci-fi, fantasy, genre, speculative fiction has arrived. It's called Monsters in the Garden. It's co-edited by Elizabeth Knox and David Larsen, with contributions from the cream of our most imaginative writers. Elizabeth Knox and one of the stellar contributors, Dylan Horrocks speak to Simon Morris about the book.
