About

A labyrinth of narratives exploring identity, power, and artifice in a globalized world.Ghost Cities weaves together seemingly disparate tales, from a fired translator in Sydney to an ancient emperor creating doubles of himself. How are these stories connected? Is it for you? If you enjoy thought-provoking fiction that blends satire with speculative elements, then yes. Why buy now? Because this is a fresh voice in Australian literature, offering a unique perspective on modern society.

Follow Xiang, the translator, as he navigates unemployment and a mysterious job offer in a Chinese ghost city. Unravel the secrets of an ancient emperor obsessed with immortality. Discover the power of art and the illusion of control in a world increasingly shaped by technology. Will Xiang find his place in this strange new world, or will he become another ghost in the machine? Prepare to be amused, terrified, and thrilled by this inventive exploration of the human condition. Perfect for readers of literary and speculative fiction.
