Ground of Hate
5 disturbing dark Australian storiesBy Mark Hodgetts
Length1h 52m
About this audiobook
They say the dirt in the 'Flat' was cursed back in the 1800s. They were right.
From the high-stakes pressure of the MCG to the salt-crusted boardwalks of Geelong, the land remembers every drop of blood ever spilled. In this visceral collection of five Australian nightmares, the ordinary is hollowed out to make room for the ancient.
A star athlete becomes a genetic predator under a full moon. A grieving mother finds her new suburban home is a vessel for a century-old grudge. A social outcast discovers his true, terrifying self in the back of a souped-up Commodore.
The Ground of Hate isn't just a collection of stories—it’s the dirt beneath your fingernails and the cold realisation that some ground should never have been broken.
Welcome to the Ground. Don't dig too deep."
