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 😈

“There 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.” - 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.

Today's a great day to buy a book. And we've got just the book for you! Radcliffe by @madeleine_deste - a #gothic tale of weird women in a weird house set in an Australian heatwave.
Grab a copy from @BBoundbks or any good indie bookstore, or the usual paces online.

Have you ever woken up and thought "Gee. I'm so glad I don't know what Helena McAuley sounds like 😊"? 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.

I'm starting to wonder how much the term "midlife crisis" has actually translated to "we forbade you to discover yourself in your youth, and we are forbidding you to discover yourself now" 🤔

Oh hi, just casually laying in bed reading my own book, as you do.
You should buy it. Really.

[Helena McAuley @thathmc]

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)

[Deadset Press @DeadsetP]

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!
