Posthumous Interest
There has been some posthumous interest in Terry's life and times, which has led to some poetry about his offending, and a biography in the late seventies. Terry has received a capsule biography in the online Dictionary of New Zealand biography, and a further section in the recently published Wild Cards: Eccentric Characters From New Zealand's Past (2006). Not all of this interest has been scholarly in tone, as the neofascist New Zealand Nationalist Workers Party republished copies of The Shadow for their own anti-immigrant racist purposes in the eighties.
Terry and his trial in the Supreme Court feature in the early part of Alison Wong's novel, As the Earth Turns Silver, published by Penguin in 2009.
