Scary Monsters

From the twice winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award comes a brilliant, unsettling, and masterfully crafted novel. Scary Monsters by Michelle de Kretser is a dazzling work of literary fiction that explores fear, power, otherness, and the monsters that lurk both outside and within. Told through two interlinked narratives—one set in a near-future Australia, the other in 1980s France—this novel challenges readers to confront the prejudices, anxieties, and moral compromises of our time. It is a profound, provocative, and unforgettable reading experience.
