"Absolutely stellar, such a gripping and creative tale. The horror aspects sucked me straight into the story. I couldn't stop reading! Super keen for more!"
"Beautifully depicted. I feel like I'm in the town with the characters, even though they are dead."
Spirits In Your Area is an interconnected anthology of fantasy stories, mostly set in Australia and Greater Oceania. This novel-length collection of stories reimagines classic fairy tales and folk ghost stories in a dark, quirky, and surreal way.

Set in a world very similar to our own, humans must wrestle with their understanding of death, loss, family, and self. After stumbling into the strange and terrifying realm of spirits, these humans must either overcome these paranormal powers, or die trying.

Twelve stories included:

• Sound the Siren: A young man picks up a hitchhiker at a petrol station. Little does he know, he will soon be lured into a world of spirits: both good and evil.
• Miscellaneous: A castle full of sentient household items is trapped under the iron fist of a beastly master, ever since a witch cursed him. The castle chamberpot sets off to confront the witch.
• The Glade: A group goes hiking to find a mysterious species of red bamboo. They meet a powerful spirit, and receive a practical lesson on how you should behave in the wilderness.
• Little Red: Paige realises that her grandmother has been training her for a terrible and otherworldy career.
• CEO: Oftentimes, the leader of an organisation is eccentric. Timur, on the other hand, is probably not human.
• Last Stop: A middle-aged insurance salesman realises that his driver, and the other passengers aboard his evening bus, are waiting for him to fall asleep.
• It Figurines: Stacey and Monique are the uncontested queens of the schoolyard. That is, until a strange new student arrives, who claims that she can connect their dreams at night.
• Finale: Paige discovers the lair of a formidable opponent, and unravels a secret about her grandmother.

+ Plus four other stories (including one story that was "Highly Commended" by the FAWQ).
