Rachel Reviews: Lakefront Wolves by Joseph Deegan
Meet Finn. He's an 18 year old kid who has potential. He's bright with great school scores and he's also an athlete, a footballer of some prowess. He has it all going for him, it would seem, and yet, he's determined to send what could be a well-planned, stable existence firmly off the rails. He drinks, he smokes, he takes drugs, he has violent tendencies and he's in danger of losing not only his mind but all that he holds dear.

Rachel Reviews: Lunch Tales: Teagan by Lucille Guarino
Well, I did enjoy this! Sometimes, all you need is just great storytelling and this is what Lucille Guarino delivers here. There's no big message to this book; it's just about folks and families, living their lives and coping with everything that's being thrown at them and finding their way. But when it's done well, like it is here, then you have characters to whom you can relate, tension which leaves you rooting for a better outcome, attraction which has your heart racing and an urge, as a reader, to see the characters happy with the people with whom they belong.

Book Review: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I flipped the book over in my hands in the centre of the small airport book shop. Although I had heard promising reviews of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I hesitated. The synopsis didn’t compel me - I wasn’t much of a space girly. In high school it made me cringe when my peers would talk about the stars.

Self Help: Grifters' Gospel
On Self-Help, Snake Oil, and the Illusion of Change Psychology professionals and students can be imagined on two opposite sides of a line called self-help books: likely a larger group opposes pop-science and step-by-step manuals filled with talk of success, journaling, and not giving a f**k; others love them, but they aren’t many.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Bablos and Freedom
Bablos and Freedom: The Political Economy of Will in Victor Pelevin’s Empire V In the English translation of Victor Pelevin’s novel Empire V by Andrew Bromfield, several key philosophical terms become central to understanding the strange political economy that structures the world of the vampires. Among them are three concepts that define the architecture of power in the novel: Will, Freedom, and Bablos. These terms are not merely linguistic curiosities or problems of translation; they form the philosophical backbone of Pelevin’s satire of modern capitalism. By transforming street slang and everyday political vocabulary into metaphysical categories, Pelevin constructs a disturbing vision of contemporary society in which money becomes a condensed form of human life and freedom becomes the mechanism through which that life is extracted.

Rachel Reviews: Bronxville by Lee Stockdale
I went into this collection without reading the synopsis and my first impressions were strong: it felt like a magical mystery tour through one person's experience as it is shaping him. However, it is reflective, being written about in the present with the insight that only comes from being older and more perceptive due to having lived.

Sins of the Fathers: Unveiling Sydney’s Criminal Past in John Byrnes’ Gripping Historical Crime Novel
Sins of the Fathers by John Byrnes offers a compelling exploration of early 20th-century Sydney, expertly capturing a city in the midst of profound transformation. Byrnes immerses readers in Sydney’s shadowy underworld, skilfully blending meticulously researched historical detail—such as the notorious razor gangs, smoky speakeasies, and entrenched police corruption—with a cast of vivid, memorable characters. The novel’s immersive atmosphere is particularly striking, with scenes in the bustling Darlinghurst district drawing readers into tense confrontations between rival factions, and moments that encapsulate the city’s transformation, such as midnight raids in back alleys now replaced by glittering skyscrapers.

Trance Mediumship. Content Warning.
The Living Voice in Altered States Trance mediumship holds a distinctive place within Western esoteric tradition. Unlike intuitive divination or clairvoyant perception, trance mediumship is defined by an altered state of consciousness in which speech, posture, facial expression, and temperament appear to shift under the influence of a perceived external intelligence. Observers have documented changes in tone, vocabulary, accent, and manner. Adherents interpret these manifestations as communication from discarnate beings. Psychical researchers have examined the same phenomena through frameworks of dissociation, subconscious cognition, and culturally conditioned religious experience. Occult practitioners have regarded trance as a disciplined method for accessing unseen dimensions of reality.
