Madness in Bloom

Madness in Bloom is an asylum of new voices calling out from within dreams, reality and reverie. This collection of 62 works by emerging Australian writers is an eclectic mix of short fiction and creative non-fiction, poetry, flash fiction, personal reflections, and experimental works that leap across genre borders in at times thrilling, sometimes sad and often hopeful ways. But forever enthralling. From phantasms of the mind to the epiphany of waking, this weighty anthology is a glut of creative explorations into the euphoria of love, the torment of loss, the yearning for truth, the whimsy of daydreams, and the reckoning of nightmares. We invite you to turn the page and come join us, as we witness madness in full bloom...
