Shedding Skins - Peter M Ball - Bog

A Brain Jar Press Short Fiction Lab chapbook, Peter M. Ball's Shedding Skin is a dark fantasy about snakes, old wounds, and isolation in the heat of the Queensland outback.
Things haven't been right with Mariah ever since the car accident, but Harley knows their problems were seeded long before they drove off the road. Things come to a head when they retreat to an old house in the outback to spend time together, far away from the bustle and watching eyes of worried friends and family.
But things watch from the shadows beneath the house too, and Harley's own reservations come to a head when they discover a snake in their midst…
