Kathleen Jennings’ standalone novels combine fairy tale structures with Australian settings, creating something that feels both familiar and genuinely new. Flyaway, her best-known work, transplants the dark fairy tale into rural Queensland, where the landscape itself seems to hold secrets.
Each of her standalone works takes a different approach to speculative fiction, but they share Jennings’ particular gift for atmosphere and her willingness to let stories unfold at their own pace.
