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 Tales gathers 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 hit Horn and the Keith Murphy urban fantasy thrillers. These scintillating tales draw inspiration from myth, pop-culture, magic realism and Lovecraftian horrors, showcasing Peter M. Ball's talent for blurring the line between genres and finding the sublime in both the everyday and the extraordinary. Come meet a man with a birdcage where his heart should be, the resident of Isla Tortuga's most dangerous bordello, clockwork goats and smokestack magi, dragonkeepers, vengeful musicians, and frustrated public servants. Walk paths through briar-choked cities, deceptively ordinary towns, and an endless stairwell populated by tourists. Prepare yourself for the wickedly inventive magic and startlingly human moments. Whether you're already a fan of Peter M. Ball, or you're just about to become one, The Birdcage Heart & Other Strange Tales is a debut collection that shouldn't be missed.

Autorenporträt
PETER M. BALL is an author, publisher, and RPG gamer whose love of speculative fiction emerged after exposure to The Hobbit, Star Wars, David Lynch's Dune, and far too many games of Dungeons and Dragons before the age of 7. He's spent the bulk of his life working as a creative writing tutor, with brief stints as a performance poet, gaming convention organizer, online content developer, non-profit arts manager, project manager, GenreCon convener, and d20 RPG publisher.He's the author of the Miriam Aster series and the Keith Murphy Urban Fantasy Thrillers, three short story collections, and more stories, articles, poems, and RPG material than he'd care to count. He's returning to Eclectic Projects magazine after a short hiatus devoted to finishing his Doctorate with the University of Queensland. In 2017, Peter founded Brain Jar Press to publish his backlist. From 2020, Brain Jar Press has grown to become one of Australia's finest micro presses publishing new and reprint fantasy, science fiction, horror, and crime work, with a catalogue including some some of the finest speculative fiction and crime writers working in Australia and beyond. Peter's work has won Aurealis Awards, Dither Awards, and has appeared in Years Best compilations. He's an aspiring mad scientist running publishing and genre experiments through the Eclectic Projects imprint, and resides in Brisbane, Australia, with his partner and two cats. There's a very good chance he's in need of coffee right now. ¿Find Peter Online at PeterMBall.com
