Black Juice is a book of breathtaking stories that defy boundaries. They are dazzling, ruthless, tender, fierce, unique - ten deeply moving stories from an exceptional author. ‘A good short story, a really good one, is deceptively difficult to write. Which is why Black Juice is such an outstanding collection. Because every single story in it is, quite simply, perfect. That’s what I said: perfect.’ Outland, UK ‘Black Juice is one of the most imaginative and attractive collections of short stories to appear in more than a decade.’ The Weekend Australian ‘Always moody, evocative and original, Black Juice is an intensely imaginative collection from an accomplished and distinctive author.’ The Age ‘These are stories that reward us long after they have been finished.’ Sydney Morning Herald ‘I want to hire a plane and write BLACK JUICE across the sky so that people will read these intense, rich, disturbing stories.’ John Marsden ‘This is an extraordinary book of short stories, surprising, breathtaking and beautiful by turn.’ Booktrust, UK
