Does anyone know a good source of practical advice for people (not me) who've been scammed? Probably by a non-Aus mob, but with a local (Melb) setup for collecting cash. Victim is getting conflicting advice from police and banks.

I'll add Tender Morsels and Brides of Rollrock Island by @margolanagan as two books that I didn't necessarily rate highly at first but have really stuck with me.
Congratulations, Jonathan and all of us!🥳🥂

"The novel takes the legend of the selkie, of the human man who steals the seal-woman’s magic and binds her to him, and turns it inside out."

Good question. There are stories that have upset me so much I've trouble rereading them-but not scared me-the written word doesn't do that to me). "A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" by Charles Birkin" & recently "Tell-Tale Tit" by Margo Lanagan(taking latter for my Best of year)
