Charlotte McConaghy on The Wild Dark Shore

A small family lives on a remote island, the father a caretaker for the world's seeds. Then in the rising seas, a woman is washed up to shore. Charlotte McConaghy's Wild Dark Shore is a mystery, a story of love, and a warning. Melbourne-based writer Sean Wilson offers an empathetic glimpse into the fractured mind of an elderly woman with dementia in his novella, You Must Remember This. And Chris Flynn, in his latest speculative fiction Orpheus Nine begins at a regional junior soccer game where something very weird is happening, and the world is changed forever.
