B O M B S

They’re here! Introducing miniPAN, PAN magazine’s series of one-shot mini books, featuring work from both established and emerging writers.

We’re delighted to present miniPAN #1. B O M B S by A.S. Patric.

Just $6.50 plus p&h.

Click here to order one today, go on.

Oh and just one more thing, miniPAN #1 comes in either pink or black, let us know if prefer one over the other.

Praise for B O M B S:

“A fugue on terrorism, B O M B S, its jagged fragments of character whipping past like human shrapnel.” The Age.

“Chilling” Bookseller+Publisher

…Patric deftly avoids the obvious. [The Premise of 'B O M B S'], in the hands of a lesser writer, could easily have fallen into a swamp of sentimental clichés, but Patric keeps us in the air for the duration of the flight.” Overland Literary Journal

You thought we were publishing good writers? You were right, well done there, a lot of the buggers have books out at the moment. Check out this fine list:

A.S. Patric – The Rattler and other stories

“A.S. Patric is that rarest of writers- he is absolutely fearless. His stories take risks, his characters soar and his prose sings. Be careful. These stories might cut you.” – Ryan O’Neill

Fiona Wright - Knuckled

“Sydney Harbour has certainly featured a lot in Australian poetry, just think of Kenneth Slessor’s 5 bells. But now Fiona Wright has immortalised Sydney’s western suburbs in her first poetry collection; Knuckled.” – Alicia Sometimes

Robert Hollingworth - Smythe’s Theory Of Everything

“Hollingworth continues his exploration of the voice seldom heard in this moving tale about youth, aging and self-redemption.”

Graham Nunn - Ocean Hearted

“This is an intimate and deftly crafted collection of poems. Nunn writes with a photographic eye and painter’s sensibility“ – Kevin Gillam

Tim Sinclair (PAN’s own Poetry Editor) - Re: Reading The Dictionary

“Tim Sinclair’s ‘Re: reading the dictionary’ ought to be printed on a the back of a T-Shirt. Everyone from the guy at the supermarket checkout to the pack of teenagers on the train should read it.” – Bel Schenk

And from our first issue:

Pip Smith - How To Reason with Snakes

“An incredibly moreish collection of poems.” – Dale Slamma

Vanessa Berry - Strawberry Hills Forever

“The most beautiful ride straight from your place into Vanessa’s mind. Get yourself a ticket, fast.”

Josephine Rowe - How A Moth Becomes A Boat

“The characters are haunted by memory and we often catch them in a moment of decision, or in the contemplation of one. Each story manages to lull you with its magic so that you think you know where it is headed until, with a flick of its tail, it disarms you in its final sentences.”
