My father trained me to silence the way he trained his dogs, with food and a cane. Speech, he said, was poison. It scared the game, alerted the gamekeepers and betrayed your friends and family.
Tom Clay was a poacher back in Suffolk. He was twelve when he was caught, tried and transported to New South Wales.
Now, assigned to a shepherds’ hut out west, he is a boy among violent men. He keeps his counsel and watches over his sheep; he steers clear of blowhards like the new man, Rowdy Cavanagh. He is alert to danger, knowing he is a foreigner here: that the land resists his understanding.
The question is: how fast can he learn?
Because a vicious killer named Dan Carver is coming for Tom and Rowdy. And if Tom can’t outwit Carver in the bush – and convince Rowdy to keep his stupid mouth shut – their deaths will be swift and cruel.
This riveting, fast-paced new novel from the multi-award-winning Catherine Jinks brings the brutality and courage of Australia’s colonial frontier vividly to life – and sees one of our master storytellers at the peak of her powers.

Forever entwined, Sea and Serene live isolated in the Australian alpine wilderness, together with Wren - the young man who helps care for them. Each have found peace in this wild, fierce landscape, and they live in harmony, largely self-sufficient.
One day Wren discovers a woman on the road nearby, badly injured and unconscious. He brings her back to the cottage, and he and the twins nurse her back to health. But the arrival of this outsider shatters the dynamic within, with unforeseen consequences.
Lyrical and poetic, Fusion is a unique and haunting modern-gothic tale that has at its heart questions of selfhood, dependency, difference and love. It is the compelling first novel by the award-winning author of "Madness: A Memoir".

NOMINATED FOR AN AUSTRALIA SHADOW AWARD 2019
Mysterious disappearances, a battle for the spotlight and terrifying nightmares. It’s just another day at Beacon Hill High School.
Auditions for Macbeth are over, and on the bus ride home, a mysterious driver gives sixteen-year-old Violet and her friends’ three strange predictions:
One of the girls will shine like a star.
One will invite darkness into her breast.
One will depart forever.
Please, how cliché. Besides, Violet clearly knows that she’s the star.
But when she isn’t cast as Lady Macbeth and strange things begin to unfold, and the eerie predictions begin to come true, Violet can’t help to wonder which one will apply to her.
Determined to be the one that will shine like a star, Violet will do whatever it takes to get the leading role – no matter the horrifying consequence.
Modern day Shakespeare meets supernatural mystery with this nail-biting young adult horror by Madeleine D’Este.

In 1971, the wicked cult of science-sorceress Thelma O’Therion vanished from Oddfellows Observatory – and rumour is that the place has been growing ever since. Now, in the name of love, stoner-metal singer Terrance will discover the madness that lies within its walls – a terror transcending time, space, and sanity itself...
Writing about ‘Supermassive Black Mass’, author Matthew R. Davis said: “The core idea had been kicking around in my head for a few years: what if a crew of astronauts returned after many years away to find the entire planet overgrown by a single haunted house? I couldn’t see my way in, so I reduced the SF element and decided on more contemporary characters. I didn’t know who they would be until I happened across a copy of Electric Wizard’s ‘Witchcult Today’ album, after which it seemed perfectly natural to make my lead a stoner metal frontman with a taste for ‘70s horror! I’ve extensive experience with all of those things, so writing [the character of] Terrance Cranston was no stretch at all – except that he’s had a fair amount of success, whilst I continue to toil in well-deserved obscurity.”

Love meets madness on a 19th century frontier at earth’s end.
He’s been sent to investigate the wreck of a mysterious expedition ship off the wild coast of New Zealand. But the locals are strange, and the explorers driven insane. There’s one hope he still holds dear, a long-hoped-for reunion with the final survivor, yet that connection proves the most twisted and troubling of all.

КОНЕЦ СВЕТА УЖЕ НАСТУПИЛ!
Шестьсот миллионов человек. Таково количество жертв обрушившегося на Землю биотехногенного вируса. Шестьсот миллионов зараженных. Шестьсот миллионов человек превратились в одержимых, обезумевших убийц, уничтожающих все живое на своем пути.
И это только начало.
Города. Государства. Подводные царства и райские острова. Один за другим они гибнут под натиском полчищ ходячих мертвецов. Супермен, Бэтмен, Чудо-Женщина и другие члены Лиги Справедливости встают на защиту Земли от полного уничтожения…
Но долго ли они продержатся?
Никогда прежде они не сталкивались со столь масштабной угрозой. Никакая из тех опасностей, с которыми им приходилось иметь дело, не идет в сравнение с этой трагедией и ужасом. И когда герои и злодеи, боги и чудовища уничтожены, остается лишь один вопрос:
Что станет с Величайшими Героями Мира, если сам мир погибнет?
