Myths of cryptid big cats stalking the Australian landscape are as old as colonisation.

In Dusk, the puma hunting Tasmania’s lowlands has left enough evidence – in the form of dead and missing men – to prove her existence.

Two-time winner of The Age Book of the Year and winner of the Voss Literary Prize Robbie Arnott returns with another immanently beautiful story of loss and redemption.

Hear Robbie discuss his new novel, told with his renowned mastery of language, and the gothic myths of beasts and prey that underpin it. In conversation with Michaela Kalowski. 
Dusk is a sublime novel of loss and redemption, fight and surrender, that left me in absolute awe.
