Every Last Psycho


Book Description

Every Last Psycho contains two tales of two girls: Every Last Thought and Psycho Girl. One girl hears voices screaming in the shadows; the other burns with self-absorbed hunger. Every Last Thought ‘Rocking backwards and forwards; deep breaths in and out’ Sixteen-year-old Tess Davis suffers from schizophrenia, triggered six years ago by the onset of her twin brother’s death. She’s felt broken ever since. But when new guy Ed moved to her school two years ago, life gave her a reason to live joyously. Ed made her happy, becoming the friend she needed. But she didn’t plan to fall in love with him, and love isn’t always requited. Distraught by Ed’s new girlfriend and a horrific trauma Tess endures, she finds herself spiraling out of control and into cocaine-fueled delusions. Will she be able to regain a grip on life? Psycho Girl ‘Deep inside, I feel nothing. I am nothing.’ Eighteen-year-old Evelyn Baxter is beautiful, confident, popular and well off. Everyone loves her; her friends, her family, her boyfriend. She is all set to apply to the University of Cambridge to study Law. But when another girl in her year gets accepted into Cambridge and she doesn’t, Evelyn’s perfect mask starts to peel away. Murder, deceit and manipulation show Evelyn to be the monster she truly is. But will those around her realize it? One is the victim of cruelty, the other creates it. One lives in the concrete jungle of London, the other in the suburban town of Bletchfield. Both novellas are in one binding, echoing the dark horrors within.




The Last Resistance


Book Description

Radical and uncompromising, The Last Resistance is a penetrating rediscovery of the essential nature of psychoanalysis. Looking at the Freud wars in the historical context of the rise of modern science and the decline of traditional religion, it shows how outmoded notions of science are used as a resistance to the rational investigation of the self. Unashamedly partisan, this new examination of the controversies raging around psychoanalysis will prove compelling for readers of every faction in the Freudian conflicts.

Skyquakers


Book Description

A bizarre and otherworldly storm bears down onto the outback town of Wyndham, a storm unlike any seen before. Ned, a local schoolboy, finds himself trapped in a refrigerator during the chaos, only to emerge and find every living thing on Earth, human or otherwise, has vanished into the sky. While Ned bunkers down in what shelter he can find, surviving off the resources of an abandoned town, he soon notices the unsettling changes taking form around him: odd plant and animal life are emerging in place of those that were lost, and in place of humans comes these new, taller, nameless beings that Ned dubs Skyquakers. Ned's survival relies on him finding other humans; others like him who managed to outrun and outsmart the storm. But this country is big, dry, and unforgiving: his search for companionship across bushland and deserts cannot come without a few sacrifices. As the Skyquakers approach, he runs.
