A novella and new stories from Perth writer Chris Palazzolo."Chris Palazzolo has a great sense of Freud's unheimlich, or as we would say, 'uncanny.' He sees Perth as a site of transient tenancies, inscribing the ghostly presences and the endless time-stained walls of the migratory corridors of house dwellers before him. He sees our personalities as unstable, as if we all lose our identities to random meetings, and shadows and phantom footsteps behind creaking doors, a transmigration of lives that lead to uncanny but pre-ordained destinies."His stories make us see Perth anew; an almost Gothic sense of intertwining nebulous relationships far removed from the filial certainties of country life. Each story carries its own mystery and possible myth of our actual urban existence, crowded against this long coastline, away from the great empty Centre."
