Description
Humans are all but wiped out, struggling to recover in a changing climate. Margaret, the butcher bird, haunts her domain, craving blood. The key to the future of both species is in the oldest stories of the vampires, hiding in myth and memory.
But myth and memory are unreliable witnesses and the past is as hard to predict as the future.
The concluding contemporary horror stories in the seductive Gaia Cascade sequence that began in Coyote in the Corner.

Person
Ian Burdon lives and writes in Scotland, north of the Pentland Hills, south of the Firth of Forth.
His first published story was in 2017 and his first collection of linked short stories, Coyote in the Corner, was published in October 2021.
However hard he tries, his stories tend to emerge cross-genre with a bias towards the weird, and occasionally dark.
