The Moebiary Stampbill is doomed to extinction. Every bird will become a piece of tableware, thanks to Wellings, Estuary's largest domestic goods corporation. But among the lowest ranks of the giant company, rebellion stirs.

Courtlan is a quietly unnverving intern hired to count every dead bird. Hue was born distorted by a mysterious drug, and at eighteen unwittingly signs up for the hell of the birds' slaughter. Headhole is a stampbill with a broken beak-he spent his life in exile, but is forced to return for the flock's destruction.

The three strangers must overcome the boundaries of job, class, and species to foresee the tragedy awaiting the birds. Even if they come together, there might be no way to stop the slaughter. Wellings is more than a company. Wellings is a god.

Dead Bird Songs is written by Reid Faylor, known for his writing and voice on The Story Must Be Told podcast on the Last Podcast Network.

Industry Reviews

"An astounding novel, by turns passionate and horrifying, gutting and redeeming. I haven't stopped thinking about it from the time I first read it." -Libbie Grant, author of The Prophet's Wife
