Third edition of a dramatic novel, first published in 1988.

Tim Winton's classic novella about the insidious grip of fear. In the Winter Dark is spellbinding.

Night falls. In a lonely valley called the Sink, four people prepare for a quiet evening. Then in his orchard, Murray Jaccob sees a moving shadow. Across the swamp, his neighbour Ronnie watches her lover leave and feels her baby roll inside her. And on the verandah of the Stubbses' house, a small dog is torn screaming from its leash by something unseen. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Industry Reviews

'Hair-raising vision... the pulse quickens, the spine chills.' - Weekend Australian

'A brooding story... tense and intense, at once a suspense thriller and a moral fable of a creature flung up from the deepest recesses of the mind... Like black glass, the novel throws back reflections of our own image.' - The Age

'This is Winton at his most disciplined, most distilled - it's an unforgettable story, told with the simplicity that only a consummate artist can achieve.' - Sun Herald

'You won't be able to put it down.' - The Advertiser

‘Tim Winton’s raw and vibrant language makes the senses jump... concentrated, passionate, invigorating writing.’ - Independent on Sunday
