The strangely familiar. The alien within the home. The
repressed impulse. Bloodsucking counts in castles. Dismembered limbs. Wax
models of famous figures. Trying to find a lost car in a parking lot. Being
given seat E21 at the cinema when you live at 21 Rose Grove and your 21st
birthday was last week. Doppelgängers, ghosts, déjà vu.
This is the fourteenth issue of Monash University’s creative
writing journal, Verge.
Established and emerging writers have come together to fill
this collection with poems, flash fiction, creative non-fiction and short
stories that converge on the theme of the uncanny.
