I think the Never Afters Omnibus is the first time I've ever been worried about a stack of our books falling on us and doing some damage.
When you pack a book to the gills with seven novelettes, it turns out the final volume is *dense*.

Hi Folks! The Brain Jar Press offices are located in Brisbane, Australia , which is about to get hit by a cyclone for the first time in a few decades.
We can't predict what's going to happen, but I'm pretty sure that there will be disruptions to our ability to ship physical books this week.

Oh wow please grab these if you've not encountered Angela Slatter's stuff before - I know a lot of folks would only have read her novels - she's one of the masters of short form fiction and you will LOVE these. All of them.
With a whole bunch of folks discovering @AngelaSlatter for the first time (or realising just how much she's written), we've pulled together a low-cost bundle of all her short story collections and chapbooks folks can pick up for a discounted price.

Ordered print copies of The Night Stair, figuring they'd last us a year.
Gone in three days.
Ordered a second round of print copies, figuring demand would slow.
