Description

Flutter by Kathryn Ash

In the height of a summer outback in Central Queensland, something weird is going on. Vic Flutter has returned from his first year in Art College, and he’s looking stranger than usual. He’s locked himself in the shed, is creating weird sculptures out of road kill, and is seemingly behind a series of strange events unfolding for his family and their small community.

Surviving Jonah Salt by Kathryn Ash, Stephen Carleton, Gail Evans, and Anne Harris

Ruby’s aging lover has died in the kitted-out tray of his Hilux Ute, gassed on a beach in Darwin; Trish’s lover has done a bunk from their roadside store in the Daintree; Patricia is on a bus, heading North into the night, running from a faded and seedy past; and Jonah is an angry boy from Alice Springs who has made a terrible mistake. When their journeys collide at the Three Ways truck stop in the Northern Territory, everyone’s destination will change.
