''Terror Australis: Best Australian Horror'' (Sydney: Coronet, 1993)() was Australia's first original mass-market horror anthology for adults. It was edited by Leigh Blackmore. (It is technically preceded by Bill Congreve's anthology ''Intimate Armageddons'' (MirrorDanse Books), 1992 - however, that volume did not have mass market distribution). ''Terror Australis'' the anthology grew from the magazine Terror Australis and drew on the talents of horror writers centred on Sydney's Gargoyle Club Horror Writers and Artists' Society; however it also featured many of Australia's big-name sf and horror writers. A companion volume of sf stories, ''Mortal Fire: Best Australian SF'',edited by Terry Dowling and Van Ikin, was issued by Coronet the same year). The quantity of internal artwork featured, designed to showcase horror work in art as well as fiction, made it something of an innovation amongst paperbacks of the time in Australia. Robert Bloch, author of ''Psycho'', called the volume "a landmark - a monument to the genre". Leanne Frahm's story from the anthology won the Ditmar Award for Best Australian Short Fiction.〔Ditmar award results#Best Short Fiction 3〕〔Russell Blackford, Van Ikin & Sean McMullen (eds).
