Damn! I screwed that up. The name of the book is - Murmurations - An Anthology of Uncanny Stories About Birds, edited by Nicholas Royle (Two Ravens Press) Sorry about that! | ||

Thanks, Paul. Frank, I feel like Karl Power, the bloke that managed to sneak onto Man United's 2001 Champions League team photo before their game against Bayern Munich. Seriously though, I received my contributor's copy today, and it's a gorgeous book. | ||

Nick Royle's "Murmurations" anthology was featured on Radio Four's Today programme here in the UK. It should be possible to listen to it again via: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/default.stm. The item was broadcast at 8:17 am. Uncanny short stories discussed on prime-time national radio :-) | ||

'All Our Dead Heavens' rules this and all other worlds. The book is exquisitely produced, yet cheaper than many of the warehousey PoD jobs I've shelled out for in recent years. | ||

It's a gorgeous looking book - I received my copy a couple of weeks ago. | ||
