About this ebook

Family drama can be found anywhere: in kitchens, in cafes. Derelict hotels, showground rides. Even dungeons far below ruined Hungarian castles. (Okay, especially in Hungarian dungeons.)

Old family fights can go on forever, especially if you're undead. If an opportunity came to save someone else's family, the way you couldn't save your own, would you take it?

Your family might include ghosts, or zombies, or vampires. Maybe they just have allergies. Nobody's perfect.

Family history can weigh on the present like a stone. But the thing about families is, you can't escape them. Not ever. And mostly, you don't want to.

"It’s a beautiful collection of pieces, each one utterly classic and completely new at the same time... In Narrelle’s hands, everything old is new again, and everything new has the weight of age. There’s magic in that, and in this book." - Seanan McGuire

ABOUT THE TWELVE PLANETS SERIES
Twelfth Planet Press is an independent publishing house challenging the status quo with books that interrogate, commentate, inspire.

The Twelve Planets are twelve boutique collections by some of Australia’s finest short story writers. Varied across genre and style, each collection offers four short stories and a unique glimpse into worlds fashioned by some of our favourite storytellers. Each author has taken the brief of 4 stories and up to 40 000 words in their own direction. Some are quartet suites of linked stories. Others are tasters of the range and style of the writer. Each release is a standalone and brings something unexpected.
