I arrived late to the game, only picking up The Colour of Magic in 1989, I think. It was soon followed by Light Fantastic and Equal Rites and so on and so forth. Over the last twenty six years a Discworld novel has been my companion across a myriad of significant memories. |

It has been an extraordinary year for the South African women of Something Wicked.
Starting with our own editor Vianne Venter who this year wrote a bunch of scripts for four different children’s series, three for television and, most recently a bi-weekly radio programme (with songs) on SAFM. Vianne has also been working on several children’s books which will hopefully see the light of day sometime in the new year.

| “Like a serial-killing zombie clown’s suitcase, the Something Wicked Anthology is full of deliciously wicked surprises, packing more stellar stories into its pages than anyone has a right to expect. Guaranteed scares, superb illustrations and stunning production values from the doting godparent of South African shocks – don’t read after midnight, and don’t miss out.”
– SL Grey “[Editors] Joe and Vianne are talent-spotters of writers and illustrators par excellence, and superb editors. Definite recommend!” – Lauren Beukes, author of Zoo City Published by Inkless Media |
