The Sex Bunyip
The Sex Bunyip begins with the investigation of a serial killer. The male victims of these crimes are mutilated, seemingly from the inside out. The female victims are left virtually untouched physically but mentally they are left completely insane and unable to describe what has taken place. DCI Ivory Storm, in charge of the case, soon realizes that there is something really strange about this serial killer and that her investigations are going to lead her into a whole new world of understanding.

In traditional Aboriginal culture, twins are seen as bad omens. Normally, upon death, the soul passes into Dreamtime without incident. However, with twins, both souls need to be present to make this journey. If one soul can't find the other, the resulting bunyip, searches until it finds its twin soul. The results can be devastating as seen in this story.

The Sex Bunyip is an excellent read. This is not your average thriller. I was as impressed and eager to learn about the mythological portion of the story as I was with the actual modern day crime investigation. Moreover, these two portions meshed seamlessly into a really fresh and amazing story that I haven't been able to stop raving about.

A stunning adventure
As in the hybrid stories on Amazon Shorts, The Sex Bunyip is powerful in all elements: fantasy, adventure and crime. DCI Ivory Storm has more to contend with than your normal serial killer. When the journey climbs to The Sacred Land of Dreams in the galaxies, excellence triples. Another of Eugen M. Bacon's writings that I would strongly recommend.

Riveting!
What a journey! The Sex Bunyip is fierce, independent, human, gruesome and mystical all at once. This fictional aboriginal chronicle shapes into an epic. The ending, when it happens, takes you entirely by surprise and leaves you brooding over the story, start to finish.
