Title: Scribe - Win a new release November book Post by: culturebird on Tuesday 29 October 2024, 11:49:21 pm This November, we’re excited to share six incredibly diverse titles: introspective vampire fiction, a photographic history of Melbourne told through iconic ghost signs, a history of and love letter to birdwatching, the riveting story of a family’s history tied to scattered pages of a lost book, a compilation of the year’s wittiest political commentary cartoons, and a powerful and moving compilation of human connection told through therapy sessions with clients.
🩸 THIRST by Marina Yuszczuk (translated by Heather Cleary) is a breakout genre-blurring debut from the Latin American author that depicts female vampires and their sexuality at their fiercest. It’s introspective, scary, queer, and incredibly transportive. 👻 MELBOURNE GHOST SIGNS by Sean Reynolds is his work on the Instagram account @melbourneghost_signs brought to life in a stunning photographic compilation, telling parts of Melbourne’s forgotten history through these faded signs. 🦜 ENCHANTMENT BY BIRDS by Russell McGregor is both a history of the hobby and a love letter to birdwatchers everywhere and the enchantment they innately seek in everyday life. 📜 NOBLE FRAGMENTS is the part detective story and part memoir by Michael Visontay. It's the intertwined story of one man’s family history and a New York bookseller who broke up a Gutenberg Bible. ✏️ BEST AUSTRALIAN POLITICAL CARTOONS 2024 edited by Russ Radcliffe is the compilation of work by some of the year’s most wry and astute political cartoonists, including Matt Golding, Fiona Katauskas, Mark Knight, and more. 💝 HOUR OF THE HEART (publishing 29 Nov) by Irvin D. Yalom is a collection of deeply moving personal stories, capturing Dr Yalom’s one-off sessions with actual patients in a powerfully authentic depiction of what human connection can be.
