Cabin Fever and Other Stories by Diane Awerbuck

Slipping down a rabbit hole at a costume party like Alice, feeling zero gravity like a spaceman kissing a fellow alien, or drawing blood in the library... These short stories portray a reality that is often brutal, and probe the notion of personal responsibility – when should you intervene?Here is the lost history of the Observatory Library Lady; a swimming lesson for some Kimberley wedding guests; the secret tunnel beneath Beach Road in Sea Point. Part myth, part memoir, Cabin Fever details other people’s dreams and terrors, and how they merge with ours.
