Description
A mysterious inheritance takes an unexpected turn when a man receives not only a secluded cottage but also a peculiar and unsettling gift from his deceased uncle: a cormorant. This strange avian legacy becomes the focal point of a family's unraveling, as the bird's presence seems to stir dark undercurrents within their new rural life. Stephen Gregory masterfully explores themes of the uncanny, the burden of the past, and the unsettling nature of the natural world encroaching upon domestic tranquility. As the family grapples with their inheritance, they find themselves drawn into a disquieting narrative where the boundaries between the ordinary and the sinister blur.
