Tasmanian Devils

by Angela J. Maher

Kat hates camping with a passion but agrees to head off into Tasmania’s wilderness with her husband in an effort to save their marriage. Matt, a fan of truly roughing it, chooses to pitch their tent away from the designated areas, well off the established walking tracks. As darkness descends, the night creatures make their presence known, and not all of them are friendly.

Reviews

[Pete Aldin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A short read, a good read. Angela Maher captures the essence of the Tasmanian wilderness and mixes in some creeping horror and a devolving marriage.

I’m a sucker for Tasmania as a place and as a setting, so the author’s ability to bring it to life so vividly was a boon for me as a reader.

Funny in places, tense in others, always articulate. A solid read.
