Following Bathory — known as Bat — a model, sex worker and scholar with a strange inheritance, this novel explores what it means to survive, desire and disappear in a world obsessed with image and power.Bat comes from a long lineage of assassins and spies, a background that has gifted her with an uncanny instinct for avoiding death. Determined to live fast, love briefly and die young, she resists lasting attachment — until a figure from her father’s past threatens to unravel everything. As Bat navigates violence, intimacy and self-invention, the novel interrogates class, connection and the stories we tell to survive.Perfect for readers of contemporary literary fiction, psychological thrillers and boundary-pushing novels, Nymph will appeal to those drawn to stylish prose, morally complex characters and bold explorations of identity.A daring and magnetic novel that lingers long after the final page.

Shakespeare Is Hard, But So Is Life
$24.99
The works of Shakespeare have become staples of literature. They are everywhere, from our early schooling to the lecture rooms of academia, from classic theatre to modern adaptations on stage and screen. But how well do we really know his plays?In this witty, iconoclastic book, the bestselling author Fintan O'Toole examines four of Shakespeare's most enduring tragedies- Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello and King Lear. He shows how their tragic heroes have been over-simplified and moulded to fit restrictive, conservative values, and restores the true heart and spirit of the classics.'I've never read a book like this before- it's challenging, irreverent and funny.' Roddy Doyle
