Short stories; Australian Fiction

A young woman in an eating disorder ward is captivated by an avatar. A reclusive witch confronts an intruder on her land. Two writers use graphics to explore the cost of living crisis and intergenerational trauma. We meet Joan of Arc over cake in a coffee shop.

Welcome to this diverse collection of contemporary stories from exciting new writers under 30 years of age. Through a mixture of textual and visual storytelling, this anthology explores worldly relationships with other-worldly beings and the dead.

Contributors include Fiona Wilkes, Georgia Loadsman, Miles Mazzocato, Jewel Swe, Helena and Aggy Pantsis. Illustrations by Lauryn Evans.
