The first study of the synergies between postcolonialism and the genre of the short story composite, Unsettling Stories considers how the form of the interconnected short story collection is well suited to expressing thematic aspects of postcolonial writing on settler terrain. Unique for its comparative considerations of American, Canadian, and Australian literature within the purview of postcolonial studies, this is also a considered study of the difficult place of the postcolonial settler subject within academic debates and literature. Close readings of work by Tim Winton, Margaret Laurence, William Faulkner, Stephen Leacock, Sherwood Anderson, Olga Masters, Scott R. Sanders, Thea Astley, Tim O’Brien and Sandra Birdsell are positioned alongside critical discussions of postcolonial theory to show how awkward affiliations of individuals to place, home, nation, culture, and history expressed in short story composites can be usefully positioned within the broader context of settler colonialism and its aftermath.

The tales in this collection are more than mere entertainment; they serve as a chilling reminder that in the covert world of espionage, nothing is as it seems. The protagonists, often caught in a web of moral ambiguity, face adversaries who are not only skilled in combat and subterfuge but are also masters of psychological manipulation. The Killer Spies showcased here embody the duality of their profession – the allure of danger and the terror of the unknown. In "Shadow of the Silent Assassin," you will follow Detective Elena Russo as she unravels a series of murders, each one executed with chilling precision. The silent assassin leaves behind a trail of clues that lead Elena deep into the heart of a deadly conspiracy, forcing her to confront her fears and uncertainties. "Whispers in the Dark" immerses you in the world of Agent Nathan Blackwood, whose mission takes a terrifying turn when he stumbles upon a secret society with a penchant for dark rituals. As Nathan delves deeper into society's machinations, he finds himself entangled in a supernatural battle that threatens not only his life but the fate of the world.

Australia's master storyteller uncovers stories of hauntings and uncanny events in the bush and in our towns - and maybe in your own neighbourhood too. Have you ever seen, heard or felt something that cannot be rationally explained? Australia is troubled by the departed spirits of convicts, bushrangers, drovers, nurses and miners. People have seen spectres in pubs, theatres, lighthouses, asylums, and by lonely waterholes. There are locations in the bush that send a shiver down your spine, as well as some truly perplexing phenomena such as the Spirit Stones of Mayanup, Quinn's Light, the Guyra Ghost, the Humpty Doo haunting and the Min Min lights. Master storyteller Graham Seal recounts the sinister legends of ghost towns, blasted mines, and other ill-omened places. He has uncovered the histories behind the most haunted sites in Australia, our Bermuda Triangle, the convict era ghosts still troubling the Hawkesbury River, phantom ships, and gruesome unsolved crimes which have left unsettled spirits. Uncanny experiences are regularly reported even by people who usually don't believe in such things. Whether they are real or not, our ghosts exist most powerfully in the stories we tell about them. We've been frightening ourselves with these yarns for a long time. 'Graham Seal has the knack of the storyteller' - Warren Fahey 'Ripper, fair-dinkum, true blue Aussie yarns.' The Weekly Times

Four o'clock in the morning, and the lights are on and still there's no way we're going to sleep, not after the film we just saw. The book we just read. Fear is one of the most primal human emotions, and one of the hardest to reason with and dispel. So why do we scare ourselves? It seems almost mad that we would frighten ourselves for fun, and yet there are thousands of books, films, games, and other forms of entertainment designed to do exactly that. As Darryl Jones shows, the horror genre is huge. Ranging from vampires, ghosts, and werewolves to mad scientists, Satanists, and deranged serial killers, the cathartic release of scaring ourselves has made its appearance in everything from Shakespearean tragedies to internet memes. Exploring the key tropes of the genre, including its monsters, its psychological chills, and its love affair with the macabre, Darryl Jones discusses why horror stories disturb us, and how society responds to literary and film representations of the gruesome and taboo. Should the enjoyment of horror be regarded with suspicion? Are there different levels of the horrific, and should we distinguish between the commonly reviled carnage of contemporary torture porn and the culturally acceptable bloodbaths of ancient Greek tragedies? Analysing the way in which horror manifests multiple personalities, and has been used throughout history to articulate the fears and taboos of the current generation, Jones considers the continuing evolution of the genre today. As horror is mass marketed to mainstream society in the form of romantic vampires and blockbuster hits, it also continues to maintain its former shadowy presence on the edges of respectability, as banned films and violent internet phenomena push us to question both our own preconceptions and the terrifying capacity of human nature.
