Ghosts in a Desert World
A writer is disturbed from his daily grind by blood dripping from the ceiling, which gets steadily worse. Soon, the blood becomes his own personal metaphor in a battle of denial. When a compulsive gambler is forced to seek out a loan shark rooted in myth, he discovers the dark savior teaches a lot more to his pupils than mere deliverance from debt. Trapped within a room of sinister dolls, an average man is forced to confront his very worst fears ... and quickly learns that sometimes staring into the abyss does not grant you a reprieve from them. Interweaving darkness into socially relevant spiritual and philosophical themes, GHOSTS IN A DESERT WORLD is the debut collection from Australian author Matthew Tait. Revised and expanded throughout, this new edition also features the previously unpublished novelette MUTABILITY OF THE FLESH.

A director with a taste for the tragic places of the world, Dillon sees Providence Place as the perfect backdrop for tragedy to unfold ...
Dark Meridian
Peru, 1835, and the Order of Sant'Antonio have just witnessed something that goes against all belief: a ball of light has penetrated their sanctuary. Nobody has seen anything like it before and Brother Chabuca Cristal knows that one of his own flock is responsible for its presence. When Brother Meridian is abducted by the flying object and taken away, all except Brother Cristal breathe a sigh of relief that the ordeal is over... Two centuries later and half a world away, Adam Lavas has returned home. After gaining momentum in the arena of rock 'n' roll in a way nobody else predicted, his band Solid State became a global sensation known throughout every continent.

For in the corridors of the creative heart, dark things have always lurked - taking the forms of depression, addiction, and some things even worse. So when he finds a certain mansion named Meridian hidden within the hills of Adelaide, it seems like the perfect home where he can deal with terminating his celebrity status and perhaps even himself. Step into Meridian's halls, and discover a doorway into another world.
