Madness of the Bird King

"A brilliant piece of work." Jeff Noon, author of Vurt, Falling Out of Cars & The Automated Alice

The Bird King is mad again.

He caws
through empty midnight streets,
moulting tar-black
feathers.

James Knight's poetic account of the weird world of the Bird King is accompanied by Diana Probst's beautiful, unsettling watercolour illustrations, rendered here in full colour.

Look the Bird King in the eye, see into the clunking clockwork of his dark heart.
