Fandomonium is where the passion and pandemonium of fandom collide. Across 55 short works of realism, fantasy, speculative fiction, crime, horror, satire, memoir and poetry, this eclectic collection explores what it means to idolise people and ideologies, and to be fans of our own selves. From streamers to sorceresses, from the fervent to the dangerously fixated, these tales explore the extraordinary connections forged through belief and obsession. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-wrenching, and always surprising, Fandomonium has a story for every fan, follower and fanatic.

It begins with us is a revolution of the heart. This bold collection of 35 works by emerging Australian writers tells stories of what it means to be human amid times of great transformation – within dystopian worlds that mirror our own, imagined lands of the fantastic, or across the spaces of our opinions and desires, each story explores what it takes to be the catalyst for positive change. Sometimes exhilarating, sometimes thought-provoking and always rebellious, It begins with us underscores how every revolution must arise within the self.

Queerly Ever After
Alayna Cole

Queerly Ever After is a bold reimagining of classic fairy tales. Based on tales from the likes of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, Queerly Ever After takes us on a journey that explores plurisexuality, the fluidity of gender and identity, as well as the multiplicity of queerness. Join your favourite characters and experience their worlds, and lives, with a queer twist. 

Succumb to madness. 

To the euphoria of love, the torment of loss, the yearning for truth, the whimsy of daydreams and the reckoning of nightmares.

This eclectic collection of 62 works by emerging Australian writers features realism and surrealism, romance and murder, the paranormal and the poetic, the magical and the monstrous. Humour. Death. Sci-fi, fantasy, essay, epistle, fiction and nonfiction. The erotic. The historic. Even the religious and the political. 

There are no boundaries. Only possibilities. Existing in dreams, reality and reverie… 

A game of wits between a girl, a glass horse, a blurred woman and a black knight. Reflections of a sex worker tending a new client. Intimacy and conception—or neither and both. A pickleball champion in a deadly match. Emotions stolen from artistic masterpieces. Astronauts on a ship who are not alone. Thoughts behind the veil. Islands of dreams. Infidelity and revenge. First love. Secrets. The unspeakable. The unfathomable.

It’s rare for one collection to house such breadth of imagination and insanity. To prod at our hearts with emotional electrodes. And to remind us that we’re all puppets in padded cells.  

Enter the asylum. Experience Madness in Bloom.

a record of my remnants
Katie Hulme

a record of my remnants is a collection of poetry spanning 2001-present day from U.S. poet Katie Hulme. The collection, in the words of Hulme, is a confession of catharsis, and an exploration of the lines between escapism and immersion, passion and addiction, joy and idolatry. a record of my remnants features Korean translations alongside the original English poems to pay tribute to the influences on Hulme’s creative and personal life and to uncover different, perhaps more raw and unadulterated sides to her works. a record of my remnants is a book to be savoured and returned to many times over, for Hulme’s deepest and most personal “thorns” run along universal currents. These personal, yet ever-universal remnants that grow and fade, much like the moon phases, are explored in a way that we can all find comfort and solace in.

Through the darkness, I will love myself

Channeling lived-experience through characters, prose and redacted lines, this book doesn’t aim to define self-love, it shows self-love and self-hate as a never-ending journey towards self-actualisation. From moments of joy, to the depths of despair, each contributor shares a unique perspective that speaks to a universal truth: the only way to survive whatever darkness we may be facing is to go right through the middle, one step at a time.
