Short Story Club: 'Singing My Sister Down' by Margo Lanagan

Short Story Club is a reading club for time-poor people who love speculative fiction. Just like other clubs we read the story and discuss it... though expect to go deeper into craft as writers.

This session we're reading Margo Lanagan's 'Singing My Sister Down', an Aurealis and Ditmar Award-winning story that was also selected for a few Year's Best anthologies. This is available to read as part of her collection of the same name or an audio version read by Paul Capsis. WSU students and staff can read the story here (login required).

August's Short Story Club is co-hosted with 2026 Parramatta Laureate Eda Gunaydin at Western Sydney University.

No need to bring anything but your thoughts, having read the story.
