TEN YEARS OF THINGS
THAT DIDN’T KILL US

Anthology

Paroxysm Press – ‘too stubborn to die’

CROAK & GRIST

by Shane Jesse Christmass & Hop Dac

Read with caution. Croak & Grist is a psychotic collection of work from two thoroughbreds of the Paroxysm Press stable. The stories are host to paranoia, schizophrenia, illusion, delusion, mysticism, love and redemption, themes that are excruciatingly extracted, and transmitted in such an unflinching manner that they may cause a contamination in the mind.

SHOTGUN

Anthology

Short, sharp explosions of poetry and prose. An agony of emotion; a paroxysm of passion; a double barrel blast of fiction to the face.

Fast paced, short attention span slices of life.

Shotgun fiction at its toughest . . .

WASTE

Anthology

If you’ve ever been wasted, out of hope, questioning life, in a void, sad, depressed, lonely, drunk, self-destructive; if you’ve ever lived a day of hardship – read this book.

ADVENTURES IN CAPTIVITY

by kerryn tredrea

“a delicious foray into the eroticised world of sin and seduction. a witty tale of mother-daughter relationships sexualised and demoralised, a battle of wills about willingness to open up one’s heart to god and one’s legs to man. tredrea tastes the forbidden fruit by the mouthful and yes, she does swallow. a great contribution to erotic fiction at its best – sexy, naughty and edible.”
- Fiona Sprott

A THING OF BEAUTY

by Stephen Studach

An appealing face was always finer, its sensuousness heightened, when dressed in bruises, cuts and scrapes, when rouged with blood, when swollen and smudged and purpled with the passion of violence, when paled with death; extinction still a chill bloom in its cheeks.

FINGERS & TONGUES

Anthology

Sex, sexuality, lust, love, kink, perverse, obscene, smut, sleaze, erotica, porn, arousal, fetish, body, mind, guys, girls, fingers and tongues.

Sixteen female Australian authors presenting poems and short stories in their own style, from their own perspective.

BUNK BEDS & CHILLI VODKA (a Drink Poet’s Guide to the National Young Writers’ Festival)

by Kami
(A joint production with Jazz from Hell)

One writers’ perspective on the 2001 National Young Writers’ Festival in Newcastle. Not necessarily one shared with many others.

“Paroxysm kids drinking a bottle of vodka with a chilli in it… and Kami’s tee shirt collection, love them Dead Boys”
- (An extract from a list of Festival highlights from Shane Jesse Christmass)

THE SECRET ECONOMY

by Robyn Fordyce-Wheeler
(first published in Paroxysm)

Marijuana dissolves tension, negates aggression and sharpens the senses. Perhaps it is the antidote to the modern world and it’s just our laws which are antiquated.

“entertaining and persuasive” – Voiceworks
