The Anthology of Colonial Australian Gothic Fiction
Gelder, Ken & Weaver, Rachael (edited),
ISBN: 9780522854220
Melbourne University Press, Melbourne, Australia, 2007.
Trade Paperback. New Book (remainder)/. First Edition. This anthology collects the best examples of Australian gothic short stories from colonial times. Demonic bird cries, grisly corpses, ghostly women and psychotic station-owners populate a colonial landscape which is the stuff of nightmares. In stories by Marcus Clarke, Mary Fortune and Henry Lawson, the colonial homestead is wracked by haunted images of murder and revenge. Settlers are disoriented and traumatised as they stumble into forbidden places and explorers disappear, only to return as ghostly figures with terrible tales to tell. These compelling stories are the dark underside to the usual story of colonial progress, promise and nation-building, and reveal just how vivid the gothic imagination is at the heart of Australian fiction. Multiple copies available this title. Remainder mark. Quantity Available: 5. Category: Fiction Classic & Modern; Short Stories; Australia; ISBN: 9780522854220. Inventory No: 08090565. $4.99 flat rate shipping (for single or multiple orders) within Australia.

Last Night
Salter, James,
ISBN: 9780330448505
Picador, 2007.
Medium Softcover. New Book/No Dust Jacket. . Publisher Comments: From the acclaimed author of A Sport and a Pastime, Light Years, and Solo Faces, a superbly accomplished new collection that explores his signature themes: love, honor, sacrifice, friendship, and abandon. In these taut, powerful stories, Salter portrays men and women in their most intimate moments. A book dealer faces the truth about his life — as it is and never will be again — when he is visited unexpectedly by his brash former girlfriend. A lonely married woman, after a disturbing encounter with a drunken poet at a dinner party, finds herself irresistibly drawn to his animal surrogate, a huge tawny-eyed dog. A lover of poetry must come to terms with his wife's request to give up what may be his most treasured relationship. And in the title story, already hailed by Frank Conroy as a masterpiece, clearly and without question, a translator, tormented by an agonizing sense of inevitability, assists in his wife's suicide even as he arranges a last betrayal. A spellbinding work of fiction — a symphony of desire, memory, and loss — from one of our most compelling and important literary voices at work today. Multiple copies available this title. Quantity Available: 5. Category: Fiction Classic & Modern; Short Stories; ISBN: 9780330448505. Inventory No: 09050613. $4.99 flat rate shipping (for single or multiple orders) within Australia.

A keen sense of place and topography, and seemingly exact, authentic documentation of events, were aspects of the ghost-story writer's art of which James himself was very conscious." -- Front fold over blurb Short Stories -- Ghosts Very Good
