Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On the wild tropical coast of Far North Queensland sits Wanga.A bakery. A pub. A pharmacy. A general store. A wharf. Cane fields running toward rainforest, and the Coral Sea flashing blue at the end of the main street.It is the kind of town where everybody knows everybody, nobody throws away anything that still has a story in it, and the Bathory family have lived just outside town for longer than anyone cares to examine too closely.Then Wanga begins behaving strangely.A dead man buys diesel from his son's servo.A voice comes through the wall of June Vale's bakery.A pharmacy printer writes instructions from a woman who has been dead for years.Old photographs change. Roads lead somewhere they shouldn't. Children remember things adults have forgotten. And across Wanga, people begin hearing the voices of those they have lost.At first, every incident has an explanation.Grief.Faulty wiring.Old buildings.Bad records.Human memory doing what human memory does.But as Constable Nina begins placing the stories side by side, coincidence starts developing a pattern. Forgotten roads, old drainage lines, missing people and local folklore begin connecting across generations.And beneath it all sits the oldest rule in Wanga: Some things are better left alone.Because the Bathorys may be the strangest family in town.They are not necessarily the strangest thing in Wanga.The People of Wanga is a darkly funny, atmospheric Australian horror novel about grief, memory, small-town loyalty and the stories communities keep long after everyone has forgotten why they began.Welcome to Wanga.The locals already know your business.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Wanga has records.The old stories are something else.For generations they have survived in pub conversations, family warnings, police files, newspaper clippings and the half-remembered things adults tell children when they want them to stay away from somewhere without explaining why.Eight stories.A boy who insists something lives beneath the beds-before three members of his family disappear.A lonely man who begins measuring the trees outside his house because he is certain the forest is moving closer.Five people fleeing disaster who take refuge in a cabin in the hills.A television contestant locked inside a box with something he will spend the rest of his life believing never truly left him.A painting that refuses to remain the same.A prison cell that becomes less empty every night.A woman who vanishes while her husband obsessively completes a puzzle that does not want to be finished.And an orderly at the old hospital whose particular form of cruelty becomes something Wanga remembers long after the official paperwork has forgotten.Some of the names changed over the years.Some locations moved.Some details became impossible.But the shape of each story remained.Now the people of Wanga are pulling those old tales apart, comparing folklore with surviving evidence and discovering an uncomfortable truth: Stories do not have to be completely true to preserve a warning.The Old Stories returns to the dark history beneath Wanga in eight interconnected tales of Australian horror-stories of isolation, obsession, impossible spaces and ordinary people discovering that the safest-looking room can become a trap.Before Wanga began asking what was happening to the town, these were the stories it already knew.And Wanga has been keeping them for a very long time.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1573, thirteen-year-old Erzsébet Báthory gives birth to a daughter history must never know existed.Before sunrise, the child is gone.Her name is Ilona.Years earlier, in the court of Catherine de' Medici, Nostradamus had already written of a hidden daughter from an eastern house-a bloodline whose flesh would one day refuse age, death and decay.Catherine wants the secret before it has even been discovered.She is not the last.What begins with whispered remedies, experimental medicine and one concealed child becomes something far more dangerous: a treatment capable of changing the natural course of human life.But it is not immortality.Everything dies.Some people simply stop dying when they should.Across centuries of European history, the descendants of the Bathory bloodline survive kings, queens, plague, fire, war, medicine, superstition and the increasingly inconvenient habit of governments keeping records.Names change.Mothers become daughters.Brothers become nephews.Families move before neighbours notice that the faces in old portraits have not aged.And behind every new identity lies the same problem.The treatment works.The source has a price.As Margaréta-Maggie to those who know her best-turns inherited knowledge into a system capable of surviving generations, she must decide what her family is willing to become in order to continue existing. Around her grow the people who will shape the Bathory legacy: Fred, János, Eleanor, William and Anne-some choosing the family's impossible inheritance, others refusing it, and all discovering that living longer does not protect anyone from grief.By the nineteenth century, Europe is becoming too crowded with records, rumours.and ghosts.The Bathorys have survived almost everything the old world could do to them.Now they must leave it behind.Australia knows nothing about their name.Yet.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Europe taught Maggie Bathory how to survive.Australia will teach her how to build something that can survive without her.After centuries of persecution, reinvention and blood-soaked experimentation, Maggie and her family leave London behind and cross the world carrying a fortune, a secret, and a treatment powerful enough to make death negotiable.Australia offers what Europe no longer can: distance.Land.And people the world has already learned not to look for too closely.In the brutal young colony, Maggie finds former convicts, labourers, widows and forgotten men willing to follow a wealthy woman north in exchange for work, food and the possibility of a future. On an enormous stretch of tropical Queensland country, the Bathorys begin again.A farm rises.Then houses.A store. A bakery. A pub.A town.Wanga.But Maggie has learned that immortality creates problems long before it solves them.Some of Wanga's first settlers are offered the Bathory treatment.Most are not.Some families grow old normally.Others begin producing generations that look disturbingly familiar.Names change. Photographs disappear. Fathers become sons. Daughters inherit faces they should not possess.And slowly, quietly, Wanga learns its most important lesson: Bathory protects Wanga.Wanga protects Bathory.No contract is required.No meeting is held.The rule simply becomes part of the town.Until somebody decides to leave.From convict-era Australia to war, modern bureaucracy, missing families, impossible roads and the creation of Bathory Farm Stay & Retreat, Book Two of The Road to Wanga reveals how one family's search for immortality became something far more dangerous.A community.A tradition.An inheritance.And underneath it all, Maggie Bathory is still making pies.Some places keep their history in books.Wanga eats its own.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Paradise scaled. Appetite perfected.Bathory Farm Stay was never just a farm. Now it's not just a stay.The sign at the gate still reads the same. The sunsets are still golden. But the humble family retreat on the Far North Queensland coast has grown - new staff, new villas climbing the hillside, a private table for guests who don't appear on any booking system. The kind of guests whose faces the world would recognize, if the world were ever allowed to know they were here.They come for the same thing every Bathory guest has always come for. They just have the money to ask for more of it.Anne is keeping count. She has been for years. But the circle at Bathory has never been this wide, the appetite never this efficient, and the men who think they own the door have never been this dangerous to say no to.Some places feed you. This one learned how to feed on an entirely different scale - and it's not done growing. …
