Not all stories are invented.
Some are whispered straight into the ear of an unwilling listener.
In this collection of Tasmanian Gothic tales, Vanessa Amohia Jones ventures into the shadowed territory where truth and fiction blur. These are her darkest stories yet, drawn from personal encounters, from haunted histories and tragedies hidden beneath the soil.

A gothic horror short. Death hasn’t cured Kitty of wanting.
Transported in chains to the wild edges of Tasmania, she carries more than a convict’s curse — she bears a sorcerous bloodline and a rare, coveted Virtue said to unlock true vampiric immortality.
Guided by her maker, André — a self‑styled prince among vampires — Kitty is reborn into a world of hunger and power. Under his tutelage, she learns the secrets of immortality, how to feed, how to glamour, how to build substance as a fully embodied revenant. And in the dark corners of the housing estates, she turns her new strength toward a brutal purpose: clearing the ghettos of abusers who prey on the powerless.
Yet even as she grows in power, her heart remains fixed on the past — searching through eternity for the loved ones the convict system tore from her.
Haunted by the memories of a life stolen too soon, Kitty aches for the forbidden love she lost. She yearns for freedom, unaware that there are other kinds of chains waiting to claim her.
