O by Steven Carroll
The Miles Franklin-winning author turns his attention to the story behind the famous erotic novel. Written not long after the end of World War II, what is The Story of O really about? The author and her married lover? Or the country and the wartime past it would rather forget?

Katherine Kovacic The Schoolgirl Strangler
A chilling true story. November, 1930: 12-year-old Mena Griffiths is lured away by an unknown man while playing in the park. Hours later, her body is found, strangled. Then a second girl is murdered, also strangled. This is the work of a serial killer, but the police have no experience dealing with this kind of criminal, and it is years before the murderer is finally brought to justice.

Alf Taylor God, the Devil and Me
As a young Nyoongah child Alf Taylor was taken into New Norcia Mission, 130 kilometres north of Perth. He left the mission at 15, hitchhiking to Perth to find his mother and drink himself to death. His salvation came through discovering writing and the bush. This unique memoir – both Gothic horror story and comedy – includes Alf’s reinterpretation of the New Testament.

Anna George Tipping

A sexting scandal at her sons’ school sparks outrage, but it might also prove to be the tipping point required to change the school, and the wider community, for the better.
