Imagine a world where you might disappear any

minute, only to find yourself alone in a grey sickly land, with more horrors in it than you

would ever wish to know about. And then you hear a horn and you

know that whoever lives in this hell has got your scent and the hunt has

already begun.

Could you survive

‘The Call’?

‘The Call’ is an event that will happen to every single teenager with no exception. At some unknown moment after puberty, they will disappear, their clothes left behind the only indicator that they are gone. They will reappear in an alternate world, the Grey Lands, where they will be hunted for sport by the fairy folk for 24 hours. This time represents only 3 minutes in the real world. When they return, most are dead, but some are still living and horribly transformed in both body and mind.

Nessa is in training at a college in preparation for ‘The Call’. What happens to Nessa and her friends before and during the Call is absolutely compelling reading.

The Rules of Backyard Cricket opens with Darren Keefe tied up and shot in the boot of a car, considering his fate as the Geelong Road spins out through the hole in the tail light he watches it through. And so he considers how he got from scrappy kid playing endless back yard cricket with his older brother Wally to shameless sporting celebrity and mischief maker to a man clearly on his way to a fiery end in in burnt out car.
