Murmurations: An Anthology of Uncanny Stories about Birds

Murmurations: An Anthology of Uncanny Stories about Birds

Adam Marek
4.3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Freud observed that birds ‘don’t seem to be submitted to the same laws of gravity as us’, although without gravity they would die, as they need it to swallow. Birds are all around us; they could not be more familiar. And yet at the same time they are alien, unheimlich – uncanny.

Award-winning editor Nicholas Royle brings together previously published stories by Daphne du Maurier, Anna Kavan, Russell Hoban and others with brand-new tales by contemporary writers including Bill Broady, Adam Marek, Regi Claire, Mark Valentine, Reggie Oliver, R.B. Russel, and many more.

With a foreword by Angelica Michelis, senior lecturer in English at Manchester Metropolitan University.
