AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'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.'

The Mark, Grace Chan , single work short story horror

Described by the author as 'a psychological horror story inspired by the Capgras delusion [the belief that a loved one has been replaced by an identical double]. It explores themes of womanhood, powerlessness and madness. It’s also a little ode to such works as The Yellow Wallpaper, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace.'
