ANNOUNCEMENT! COMING October 2026! A yet to be titled novel by Jack Cuthbertson aka @bookclubhell666 "Book Club From Heaven".
Rock band Atlas & The Shruggers rule the world with monumental aesthetics. Benighted Tasmania is the lone holdout.
Schizoid fiction at its INSANEST!

Reminder that Bonfire Books always was and always will be "ai" free. Nothing we publish will ever be tainted by so-called artificial intelligence at any stage of production.

Just signed an incredible new book of poetry, featuring award-winning poems, some of the most supple and innovative formal verse going and a first modern verse translation of a long Middle English work. Details to follow soon!

What with recent kerfuffles it seems like a good time to reiterate that if you are dissatisfied with Ozlit as propagated by the rapidly failing publishing so-called "establishment", check out one of our titles. Sleep Capricorn by Jack Norman is a great place to start.

“Man, I spend too much time on my phone, maybe I’ll check out a contemporary novel”
*opens book*
“He scrolled on his phone through the night and into the morning, bored, disgusted, aroused, and went to work texting in traffic, and why do they call it a phone, really”

You know that culture is dead because no one successfully reckons with phones in film and literature. It’s like having westerns without the railroad. Phones and phone culture should be what 90% of movies and books are about.

Our editor-in-chief Lucas Smith's book Spare Us Yet & Other Stories published not by us but by @WisebloodBooks was recently reviewed very favourably @firstthingsmag (link in reply). Pick up a copy at the Wiseblood website!

Individualism and youth worship culminate in hatred of the young; when a generation or two ages out, they loathe those behind them, and rather than wanting better for descendants, they enjoy seeing them as suffer, out of envy for those who still have the most prized quality

Great piece here by Lucas Smith. To my great shame, I am not as well-versed in Miles Franklin, but in Modern Australia her name’s invoked by people who don’t understand her and whom she’d absolutely despise. This is the Australian feminist version of James Baldwin, whose talent and legacy has been completely “wokewashed” by race grifters.
