AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Creek' is about quaking women who drowned in creeks. They claw their way through Australia's shallow creekbeds and call out, demanding to know what happened to their loved-ones. Olivia, the story's protagonist, first encountered them when she was young and has been haunted by them ever since.
