It's apparently the first ever compilation of Australian and New Zealand crime short stories, but already several more anthologies are being planned to follow.

Dark Deeds Down Under (Volume 1) is edited by Craig Sisterson, an expat champion of Australasian crime writing.

Craig has already written a reader's guide to the crime fiction - in books, film, and TV - of New Zealand and Australia. He also founded the Ngaio Marsh Awards and Rotorua's Noir festival of crime writing.

Dark Deeds Down Under (Volume 1), edited by Craig Sisterson, is published by Clan Destine Press.
