Includes the Aurealis Award winning story.

There are many things for sale at the market of loss.


Your mother's heart.
A smile that makes you ache.
A chance to feel alive for the first time, or the last.
But remember, before you buy, everything at the market is really only one thing—a mirror.

Matt Tighe's Market of Loss: A Collection ranges from the red plains of Mars to the darkest night of a pledged soldier, showing us that connection is universal because we all know what it means to lose.


"This collection is a trap. Tighe has characters you get right inside and ideas that refuse to be put down with the book. They linger in your head and in your heart." – Samantha Murray, multi-award winning author.

"Why would you write this sort of stuff?" – A supposed friend of the author (but not Samantha).

Release date 1st June, order here:
