1 2 y separately published work icon Emma After Anthony O'Connor , Australia : Green Light Productions , 2022 25357180 2022 single work novel young adult fantasy

'The good news: there's life after death. The bad news: it kinda sucks.

'Eighteen-year-old Emma Crothers spent her whole life waiting to escape from her boring small town. Unfortunately, after drowning in a pool, that's no longer an option.

'Emerging as a ghost from her watery grave, Emma finds her hometown anything but dull. In fact, when a horde of soul-swallowing Hollows hunts her through the fog-shrouded streets, she finds it absolutely terrifying.

'Fleeing to the Fountaindale Grand Manor, a safe-haven for spirits, Emma meets a colourful community of the deceased, led by the alluring caretaker, Jack. However, just when she starts to adapt to the afterlife, a family of living Breathers invades the Manor, throwing everything into chaos.

'Emma must help evict the Breathers in order to save her new family from the ravenous Hollows outside. Which is why it's less than ideal when she begins to fall for her unreasonably attractive haunting target, Andrew.

'Torn between two worlds, Emma never expected being a ghost would be so complicated.'

'I love a sunburnt dystopia.

'Straya lies in ruins. A once proud nation, former Australia has regressed into a patchwork civilization cowering under the deadly heat of a merciless sun. Savage violence lurks around every corner. Good pubs, but.

'Affable young mutant, Franga, risks life and double-jointed limb to help provide for his makeshift family of mutie kids and increasingly senile friend and mentor, Ken Ages. After finding a strange artifact in the deadly Downlow district, Franga inadvertently starts a horrifying chain reaction...

'Something terrifying takes form in New Sydney. A colossal beast rises, as unspeakably powerful as it is malevolent, and if Franga and his crew of misfits can't stop it? Then all of Straya is completely farked.'
