Many of these tales – from the likes of Marcus Clarke, Sophie Osmond, Ernest Favenc and Mary Fortune – are written by strangers in a new land. Traditional European elements of the weird tale appear in new forms or are moulded afresh to a harsh new environment – the haunted house is no longer a rambling manor, but an abandoned shanty or rundown homestead; the ancient wood, the lair of evils and creatures from folklore, becomes the oppressively hot, fly-infested bush; and the windswept moor is the empty, endless Australian outback with its blood-red sands and emaciated myall trees. The anthology also includes Aboriginal voices, providing a very different take on the landscape and its horrors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Library Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67880903541024,"sku":"9780712369619","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780712369619_3113637.jpg?v=1792483923","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/terror-australis-marcus-clarke-9780712369619","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
