Margot McGovern's homage to 90s horror films and final girls will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Four girls share a cabin on their school retreat - in an abandoned town where the ghost of Smiling Jack is known to haunt the isolated campers.

Shelley is the new girl with her own haunted past.
Mack made things awkward by kissing her best friend.
Priya thinks she's ready to take the next step with her boyfriend.
Raffi has a flair for drama, and convinces them all to hold a seance.

But when you call on the darkness, sometimes the darkness replies . . .

'Powerful, heartbreaking, hair-raising and absolutely terrifying. This feminist ode to the 90s slasher films is twisty, clever and frightening from beginning to end.' AMY DOAK, bestselling author of Eleanor Jones is Not a Murderer

The Dingo a most maligned animal

What a comprehensive, well researched expose of our iconic apex predator, the Dingo. So maligned since colonisation and the arrival of pastoralists, thus the target for myth making, bounties, shooting and trapping, Roland explores the fact that Dingoes are now hovering between endangered and in certain areas potential extinction. Will the Dingo become the next Thylacine.
He brings new hope as science is now proving that Dingoes are integral to maintaining ecological balance, partly by keeping, foxes, wild pigs and goats under control and maintaining healthy numbers of kangaroos.
Always embedded in indigenous Dreamtime lore then to a scapegoat and outlaw with a bounty on its head will the Dingo become once again a cultural icon if we allow it the freedom to save our fragile ecosystem

Perfect for a new DM, well made and full of useful stuff

Reads like a fever dream

This book was impossible to put down. Equally discomforting and fascinating, the stories within are never fully told, leaving your imagination to fill in the gaps. This book is everything that our ever-increasing AI world is not. Painfully and beautifully human, with no punches pulled.

Great leaps into a man's world.

This book was interesting to see how in the animal kingdom, there is a lot of sexual diversity, and the males and females of each species are cared for equally in the group. I was disappointed that Erna found it necessary to bring in a quote from the bible, Corinthians, to show that women were kept down and in their box in that era. What that verse meant was that women weren't allowed to discuss or argue biblical meanings in the church with the men. That was to be done at home. I think that would have been because the men were educated in the church ways whereas the women weren't. It still shows that the women were not given the same rights as men but what it doesn't show is that women weren't allowed to sing and young men were castrated so they could sing with a boy soprano voice.
I was also disappointed that there weren't so many stories of zoo keeping. I was hoping it would be like a James Harriot of zoo keeping book.
Cultural practices have discriminated against women through the ages and continue to do so but it there has been great headway and continues to be. I thank Erma for being one of the women who fought for the right to be treated respectfully in that all male domain.

A true gem!

Sometimes in movies you see a bookstore with nearly everything you want, staff full of knowledge and knowing advice. That place feels like magic. This is that place
