Carnage
$24.99
Millions have been entertained by the viral video of a man being arrested after a 'succulent Chinese meal'. But when Mark Dapin investigated, it emerged that this man's story went to the heart of the Australian underworld. A true crime cult classic in the making. This edition featuring a new Afterword.   Whether you know it as the 'succulent Chinese meal' video, or 'democracy manifest', chances are you have seen the video of baritone larrikin Jack Karlson getting arrested outside a Brisbane Chinese restaurant in 1991. The Guardian called it 'perhaps the pre- eminent Australian meme of the last 10 years'.   When Karlson called crime writer Mark Dapin out of the blue, though, Dapin hadn't heard of him. But there was enough that intrigued him about this theatrical outlaw to continue the conversation. Over the following months a dark and complex past emerged. It turned out that Karlson had been in the background of many notorious incidents in late-twentieth century Australian crime, from collaborating with infamous prison-playwright Jim McNeil to befriending hitman Christopher Dale Flannery (Mr Rent-a-Kill).   But most shockingly of all, Karlson's life story led Dapin to shed new light on a number of unsolved murders, by two serial killers.   The result is an extraordinary, deeply revealing portrait of Australian crime from the 60s to the 2010s – a portrait of carnage.  ' Carnage is a classic Australian crime story.' Gary Jubelin, author of I Catch Killers  'True crime at its grim and richly entertaining best, and – let's face it – its truest .' Robert Drewe, author of The Shark Net  'If ever there was a book crammed with colorful villains who are “mad, bad and dangerous to know,” it's definitely Mark Dapin's extraordinary book, Carnage .' Kate McClymont, author of He Who Must Be Obeyed

But why is Marguerite pursuing Mr. Lewis? Why are Cecile's visits becoming less frequent? And how much time has passed since Marguerite was confined to the attic?Carrion Crow is a haunting and atmospheric exploration of societal constraints and the dangers of conformity, unveiling a family's hidden secrets.Heather Parry's Carrion Crow is praised by Alan Moore as a powerful new voice in fiction.

CarthageA landmark new history of the ancient kingdom of Carthage, told through its iconic figures from Dido to Hannibal, drawing on brand new archaeological evidence to provide the definitive story of a legendary empire by a rising star in the field'This is not only history reclaimed, this is history at its best!' Professor Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, author of Persians- the Age of the Great Kings Carthage was a power that dominated the western Mediterranean for almost six centuries before its fall to Rome. The history of the realm and its Carthaginians was subsumed by their conquerors and, along the way, the story of the real Carthage was lost. An ancient North African kingdom, Carthage was the home of Hannibal and of Dido, of war elephants and enormous power and wealth, of great beauty and total destruction.In this landmark new history, Eve MacDonald tells the essential story of the lost culture of Carthage and of its forgotten people, using brand new archaeological analysis to uncover the history behind the legend. A journey that takes us the Phoenician Levant of the early Iron Age to the Atlantic and all along the coast of Africa, Carthage puts the city and the story of North Africa once again at the centre of Mediterranean history. Reclaimed from the Romans, this is the Carthaginian version of the tale, revealing to us that, without Carthage, there would be no Rome.
