Strange things happen in The Gulp. The residents have grown used to it.

The isolated Australian harbour town of Gulpepper is not like other places. Some maps don't even show it. And only outsiders use the full name. Everyone who lives there calls it The Gulp. The place has a habit of swallowing people.

A couple of weed dealers give themselves a real headache. A young man finds joy in a secret place with the new love of his life. The children of violent, bigoted parents fight for survival. One of the world's biggest stars takes time out in Gulpepper's newest Institution. The return of an old foe threatens the existence of Gulpepper itself.

Five more novellas. Five more descents into darkness. Welcome to The Gulp, where nothing is as it seems.
