ABOUT THE BOOK
A man’s fury at his neighbour is reversed by strange nightmares. A young woman with a grudge finds a discarded weapon. A hunt for sunken treasure brings two scuba divers to the brink of tragedy.
Drawing us into worlds both surreal and familiar, Things I Did for Money is a digital collection of eight unique stories from the author of acclaimed novels Black Glass and The Trespassers.
By turns unsettling, wry and moving, these stories explore the shadowy side of everyday life. A diverse cast of characters struggle to come to terms with the past, reconcile their dreams with reality, and navigate the murky terrain of human relationships. Richly imagined and deeply empathetic, Things I Did for Money establishes Meg Mundell at the forefront of contemporary writing.
The digital collection includes stories that were previous published in Best Australian Stories (Black Inc.), Meanjin, Modern Australian Stories, Australian Book Review, Eureka Street, New Australian Stories (Scribe) and The Feminist Wire. A Spanish translation of Nightshade (Sombre Nocturna) was published in the Mexican magazine Tierra A Dentro (translator: Benjamin de Buen), while a Tamil translation of Small Change was published in the magazine Puthiya Vazhviyal (India).
