"He had been created to replace a lost son. His face was made of porcelain and burnt clay formed his spine. The lips were painted on and showed a never-changing smile, while twisted copper wire held his body together. When the artificial boy looked down he could see through the gaps between the coils. There, deep down inside him, was a living thing - a fleeting flutter, visible for only one moment at a time. His creator called him Felix."

In three interconnected short stories, Felix searches for the truth about how he came to be alive. He meets a strange butterfly catcher, a terrifying almost-twin and a most unexpected friend. But will the artificial boy ever find a place where he belongs?

This volume includes all three Copper Wire Boy Short Stories - "The Butterfly Catcher", "The Almost-Twin" and "The Painted Smile" - as well as the exclusive bonus story "Shrikes", which offers an additional glance into the world of The Copper Wire Boy.
