    'Corella Press™ invites lovers of crime and mystery to a twelve-course banquet of early Australian Gothic literature. Swim with the sharks off Stradbroke Island; drink with the gold miners of far north Queensland; scream in the shadows of a rural farmhouse, dockside Melbourne, or a ghost-infested gully in the Grampians.

    'Be warned: the body count is high, and all is not what it seems.

    'Exhumed from the pages of Australia’s late nineteenth and early twentieth-century newspapers, these short, twisted tales are distinct in style and told from diverse points of view that bring forgotten Australian literature back to life. Readers will have many questions: was it murder or misadventure, a haunting or a hoax? Ideally read by candlelight, Man or Devil: Tales of the Australian Gothic is sure to whet the appetites of readers young and old, of those curious about early Australian literature, and those seeking insights into Australia’s past and present.

    'We hope you will sit with us awhile and share these fictional and true-to-life stories, as the lights burn low and the darkness deepens ...'
