Out Of Nowhere

I hear a woman’s screams, deep in my head. Mine.

 I’m out of control.

Hot on the heels of her debut novel, Climbing the Coconut Tree, S.C Karakaltsas showcases a collection of relatable yet at times unnerving and riveting stories where the unexpected takes us by surprise.


In the story,  ‘On The Side Of A Hill,’-  first included in the Monash Writers Group Anthology 2016 - a couple make a shocking discovery during their summer evening stroll.  ‘The Surprise,’- shortlisted in the Lane Cove Literary Awards 2016, - follows a mother and son’s life changing journey. Transported to a café in ‘The River,’ a woman wonders, “Am I the only one who sees?”  before the screams begin. And in the unforgettable title story, a man grasps why his wife is unhappy, too late.
