DescriptionOver the past four decades, few writers have created a body of work as distinctive - or disturbing - as Stephen Gregorys. In his tales of death and madness the menace usually comes not from the supernatural, but from the natural, and particularly birds, which in Gregorys fiction often bring terror on their dark wings. Included in this volume are the ghost stories The Late Mr Lewis and The Boys Who Wouldnt Wake Up as well as the macabre The Cormorant, which provided the inspiration for Gregorys classic novel of the same name. But not all of the tales in this book are horror stories. The avian-themed entries also include tales like To Catch a Thief, in which a series of inexplicable thefts is revealed to have an unexpected culprit and The Blackbirds Song, in which a celebrated flute player whose career was cut short by an accident rediscovers music after a visit from a blackbird.This first-ever collection of the authors short fiction brings together a rich and varied assortment of fourteen tales, including several never before reprinted, four previously unpublished early tales, and two new stories written specially for this volume.
