The dark is dangerous. So is the past. So are your dreams.
For six months Nia—Wildgirl—has tried to forget Wolfboy, the mysterious boy she spent one night with in Shyness—the boy who said he'd call but didn't. 
Then Wolfboy calls. The things he tells her pull her back to the suburb of Shyness, where the sun doesn't rise and dreams and reality are difficult to separate. There, Doctor Gregory has seemingly disappeared, the Darkness is changing and Wolfboy's friend is in trouble. And Nia decides to become Wildgirl once more.
The sequel to the 2009 Text Prize-winning This Is Shyness is about the difficulty of recreating the past—about how the Darkness no longer sets Wolfboy and Wildgirl free.

Praise for Queen of the Night

'Like a comic book, This Is Shyness hovers in a dreamy way between the real and imagined. It's punchy and playful but also hints at a depth below the surface.' Sydney Morning Herald

PRH, PRH

'Fabulously compelling…Hall casts a spell and draws you in.' Weekend Australian

PRH, PRH

'Not so much a work of fantasy as a novel that works by fine-tuning the ordinary to illuminate its oddness…Hall [is a] writer with incredible talents.' West Australian
