Recs if you like Honeyeater...

We all love gothic classics, but what is new when it comes to the gothic genre (from the last 20 years or so)?! For fans of Dracula, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, etc. Please comment with suggestions to add!

where european gothics might be interested in castles and convents, and american gothics in haunted houses and hotels, the australian gothic emerged as a way of grappling with the perceived hostility of the landscape itself.

Science fiction, fantasy, and horror from the land down under. A mix of old faves and fresh blood.

Books that challenge reality in all the best ways! From SciFi and speculative fiction to horror and literature these books are true escapism. Most I have read and loved some I’m most definitely going to read. I’m sure not all will be for everyone and that’s ok! Just wanted to share a little weirdness 🤓

Just a collection of books from across the genre spectrum featuring eye-catching flowers on the covers. Suggestions welcome!

Books that can be a little weird, a little silly, or a little sinister. Just like Cosmo Sheldrake. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes haunting, sometimes airy, and sometimes dark. But always distinct, strange, different, and beautiful. ❤️‍🩹 (And one just cuz it was written by his brother)

Books written by authors born in, who lived in, or are based in Brisbane/Meanjin, with a soft emphasis on books set in or around the area.

A WIP!!
