Dark Tales from the Outback is a collection of three short stories. ‘Jack’ is a huge red kangaroo who guided by an aborigine elder Kadaicha, lives in the spirit world, and because of their relationship ‘Jack’, becomes a Guardian of the Outback. ‘Kaya’ is a skilled tracker and hunter who roams the vast, desolate lands of the Outback. Elders warned Kaya there was an evil spirit which had taken the form of a monstrous kangaroo, and was driven by an insatiable thirst for blood. He must confront evil and bring peace to the Outback. ‘The Madness of Outback’s Shadow’ is a dark tale and according to legend, Outback’s Shadow, a kangaroo, was cursed for trespassing into sacred grounds, and ever since, it roamed the desolate plains, seeking vengeance on any who dared enter its domain. The story was dismissed as a mere folktale by most, but for those who lived near the Outback, it was a different matter entirely.

After meeting Dog-Wolf, deep inside his dreams, Hermit found himself in a large room with white walls; full of huge purple drapes decorated the windows. Outside, he could see a lush garden of flowers and plants and hear the sounds of many different animals and birds. In front of him stood a tall man wearing a long dark blue robe, and a cowl covered his head but Hermit could see a face. It was a long narrow face, with a pointed chin; and cheekbones high sat below light blue eyes that pierced the very soul of our Hermit. Hermit had seen this Spirit before, but not for a long time. It was Rardin, his teacher and guide from the other world.
