'This All Come Back Now – the first anthology of its kind – is a collection of speculative fiction from First Nations writers, both well-known and emerging. As its editor, Koori and Lebanese writer Mykaela Saunders, writes, this is a book “for weird mob everywhere and everywhen, our brave and strange thinkers, feelers, lovers, warlords and healers – those who are dreaming up new ways to tell our stories and are pouring them back into the river of our collective culture”.' (Introduction)

'Sunbathing might sound like a relaxing holiday read but it is in fact an absorbing study of the grief of a nameless young woman who has lost her father to suicide. Isobel Beech makes apparent how complex grief can be in these circumstances and does so with an authority grounded in personal experience. Beech has acknowledged the autobiographical foundation of this book, which is written in first person and reads just like a memoir. Yet Sunbathing is subtitled “A novel”.' (Introduction)
