Showcase brings together my two award-nominated short story collections, plus the notorious Australian urban fantasy novella Horn–a plucky upstart of a book that shortlisted in the Best Novel category of the Australian-based Aurealis Awards (because the judges wanted to include it somewhere but the awards didn’t have a best novella category at the time).
Picking these three ebooks up separately would cost you nearly $18 Australian, but I’m offering the ebook omnibus to subscribers for the low price of just $5.99 (around $3.99 US or £3.30, depending on the exchange rate).
This ebook omnibus isn’t offered in stores–the only way to get it is buying it direct. Just hit the paypal button to get your copy, and it’ll be delivered in the format of your choice via Bookfunnel.

As a special deal for Notes from the Brian Jar subscribers through 2020, I’ve created a three-book ebook omnibus of my award-nominated works.
Showcase contains two award-nominated short story collections, The Birdcage Heart & Other Strange Tales and Not Quite The End Of the World Just Yet, plus the first Miriam Aster novella Horn (which was nominated for both Best Fantasy Novel and Best Horror Novel in 2009, despite not actually being a novel).
Once purchased, you can either download your ebook or upload it automatically to the device of your choice via the provided BookFunnel link–no waiting, no messing around.
Published by Twelfth Planet Press, Horn is the novella that put me on the map as a writer here in Australia–a slice of hardboiled urban fantasy featuring a dead girl in a dumpster, a burnt-out detective, snuff movies, and one of the most evil unicorns you’re ever going to meet.
When it was released, Jeff VanderMeer called it “A promising, strong debut by a new Australian author,” while other reviews have named it “the best Australian speculative story of 2009” and “possibly the best paranormal fiction I have read all year, possibly ever.”
“Only Peter M. Ball’s fiction makes falling down the rabbit hole feel like flying. Funny and surprising, with moments of extraordinary grace.” Angela Slatter, Author of the World Fantasy Award-winning The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings
