Frahm, Leanne
Entry updated 16 June 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1946-2025) Australian author who began to publish work of genre interest with "Passage to Earth" in Galileo for January 1980 and (published in the same month) "The Wood for the Trees" in Chrysalis 6 (anth 1980) edited by Roy Torgeson. Frahm collected further sf and fantasy stories in Borderline (coll 1996), which includes a bibliography. Her sf is perhaps less idiomatic than her other work, though a later story like "Rain Season" (Fall 1998 Eidolon) – which focuses on the denial behaviour of an obsessed protagonist in a world gradually being overwhelmed by an ecological Disaster – is genuinely powerful.
