On this day, like Pandora's Box, it was released. Fantastic horror and weird stories from Aussie and NZ authors were unleashed onto the world. Only you can stop it. Read these stories and keep them contained. It's weird out there. Be weirder ๐Ÿ˜ˆ books2read.com/WTWTAv2/

โ€œThere is nothing intrinsically wrong with technology, if it is used properly for the benefit of all human beings and not if it becomes just a commercial means to immorally enrich certain small groups or individuals.โ€ - Yusuf Is This What We Want? is a protest album featuring recordings of empty studios, supported by over 1000 musicians, that represents the threat posed by the UK government's planned changes to copyright law, which would hand the life's work of the country's musicians to AI companies for free. #Peace #Music #AI #IsThisWhatWeWant

Have you ever woken up and thought "Gee. I'm so glad I don't know what Helena McAuley sounds like ๐Ÿ˜Š"? Well today is your unlucky day! Bear witness as I prattle at the incomparable Graeme "The Wolf" Turner about books, writing, and monkeys called Harry. open.spotify.com/episode/17Cโ€ฆ

Digital books are very convenient, it's true, but in this age of No One Really Owns Anything, I find the tangibility of a paperback both a pleasure and a comfort. Oh hey look! A new paperback! (Purchase link coming soon)
We've greenlit the paperback proofs of Where The Weird Things Are vol 2, so they will be ready to purchase very soon! Look at this line-up of awesome Aussie (and Kiwi) fiction by the way!
