The Bird Cages (A Novella)

by Michael Morrison, Arthur Deatly (Illustrator)

Overview

What happens if the world does not end like it’s supposed to? What if it keeps happening . . . over and over and over? Facing a bleak, unrelenting world, a small group of survivors take refuge in a hotel, eeking out an existence, struggling to survive. Afraid to go outside, the group of people erect cages on the roof of the hotel to stand watch, prepare, and be the eyes of the people inside. Supplies are limited. Morale is low. Hope is at a standstill. And the danger that lies just outside their walls may have found a way in.

Editorial Reviews

The Bird Cages was an awesome read. From beginning to end, I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I felt like I was in the middle of the story, alongside the characters the whole time. Awesome!

Chris Russell

This was a very good read - it held my interest from beginning to end. I engaged with the characters and was drawn into the story. One thing I loved about it was that rather than trying to sound spell Louisiana accents, Mr. Morrison simply wrote the dialogue and allowed the reader to do that in his or her own way. The characters felt like people you know or could know and were real - not caricatures. I highly recommend it.
