Damn Good Television
A young man changes into a snake and goes on a killing spree. A private investigator investigates the disappearance of a family member of the mayor of the Gold Coast, and finds the body of a beautiful young poet on the way with a bottlebrush clasped to his chest. A washed-up actor languishes in a motel room thinking about God. An Aboriginal man channel surfs alone in a dark room.
Gritty, bloodsoaked and unsentimental, Loki Liddle's debut work takes readers on a deranged road trip from Coolangatta to Broome. Along the way, he consumes and spits out western popular culture and connects to the voices of his Jabirr Jabirr ancestors, weaving past, present and fiction together in a surreal and unforgettable feature.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
