Twelve short stories those who love strange, heartbreaking, and unforgettable fantasy.What if kaiju decimated your hometown, but only half the population could see them? What if mermaids unleashed their wrath against Copenhagen using mechanoid war-machines? What if the man you loved wanted nothing more than running away to live with the faeries, but you were the one they wanted to take with them?The Birdcage Heart & Other Strange Taleságathers together twelve wild and genre-bending fantasy tales from the pen of Peter M Ball, the Ditmar and Aurealis Award-winning author of the cult hitáHornáand the Keith Murphy urban fantasy thrillers.These scintillating tales draw inspiration from myth, pop-culture, magic realism and Lovecraftian horrors, showcasing Peter M. Ball&rsquo,s talent for blurring the line between genres and finding the sublime in both the everyday and the extraordinary. áCome meet a man with a birdcage where his heart should be, the resident of Isla Tortuga&rsquo,s most dangerous bordello, clockwork goats and smokestack magi, dragonkeepers, vengeful musicians, and frustrated public servants.

Prepare yourself for the wickedly inventive magic and startlingly human moments.Whether you&rsquo,re already a fan of Peter M. Ball, or you&rsquo,re just about to become one,áThe Birdcage Heart & Other Strange Talesáis a debut collection that shouldn&rsquo,t be missed.
