Description

A winking gargoyle brought back to Tasmania from dubious origins, a mysterious Antarctic research expedition leaves Hobart but doesn't seem to want to reach its destination, noisy Tasmanian Devils at a remote campsite, sinister black Currawong birds, a secret underwater cave at a popular tourist spot holds mysteries untold, the disappearance of Mount Kunanyi, and a writer from overseas who finds the Tassie writing retreat may reveal some secrets from his past, and put his present in danger...

All stories are set in Tasmania and written by Tasmanian-based authors or with a strong family connection.
