 ‘Remember Sleepy Creek’, Sleepers Almanac, 2008, Sleepers Publishing Melbourne.

‘The House Guest’, New Australian Stories, Scribe Publishing, Melbourne, 2009

“Of the longer stories Virginia Peters The House Guest is a standout of suspense and conflict against a background of ordinary life.  This is definitely a story to start when you know you are going to be able to be finish undisturbed.” Metapsychology, online Reviews

‘We Must Catch Up’, Sleepers Almanac, Sleepers, Melbourne, 2009.

“We Must Catch up is a disquieting tale of female friendship.  What begins as an innocent acquaintance between two mother morphs into a parasitic obsession.  Peters is subtle, however; she deftly portrays the quiet intensity between the women.  (Who after all hasn’t felt the curious thrill of a friend-crush?)  Her underlying themes of domestic dissatisfaction and maternal ambivilance are considered and challenging.”  Melbourne Age, 7.3.09   

‘About the Others’, Brothers and Sisters, Allen& Unwin, 2009.

“About the Others, by Virginia Peters, tells a powerful story of the damage done to a favourite child by a disturbed mother.  The voice of the unpleasant narrator neatly damns herself in the picture she describes of co-dependency fuelled by loving abuse.” Sydney Morning Herald, 21-22.11.09

‘The Fat Man’, Overland Literary Journal, 197, O L Society Limited, Melbourne, November 2009
