A scarce limited edition collection of strange and occult horror fiction by Rosaleen Norton, the Australian artist and occultist remembered as “the Witch of Kings Cross.” These stories were first published in Smith’s Weekly in 1934, when Norton was still in her teens, and later appeared in a highly limited 1996 edition.

This Teitan Press revised edition gathers the original three macabre stories, additional related material, reproductions of Norton’s grotesque drawings, comic illustrations, and an introduction and foreword by Keith Richmond. A strong collector’s item for readers interested in Australian occultism, weird fiction, esoteric art, and the mythology surrounding Rosaleen Norton.
