The Pigeon Detectives

The Fight or Flight Collection

De: Sean P. Gibson

Narrado por: Samuel Arnold

Pigeons. You’ve seen them. You’ve ignored them. You might even have kicked one. They’re bottom feeders. Scroungers. Annoying, disease-ridden pests. But! What if they were something more? What if they acquired a taste for blood? Human blood?

Follow Detectives George and Leo as they investigate a trail of mysterious murders within New York City. Murders pointing to a very unlikely candidate. Following the clues, they find themselves in a horror setting which they soon wish to escape. It’s a monster they’ve never faced before. A monster they didn’t think they’d ever face. And yet, it’s a monster particularly crafted for killing. After all, this murderer is everywhere, watching silently. Watching you…watching your family…right now.

This novella is the first in the Fight or Flight Collection, a series of bird-related horror short stories. The second, a sci-fi horror—Gullonization—is also out now!

It was… alright

I don’t think I knew what I was getting into. This was more surrealist than horror. And the odd slightly anti American slant was awkward.

But for some reason even amongst blood and gore, with disturbing plot elements, and leaning into the mutilation of children for emotional depth, I still managed to get completely pulled out of the story by a New Yorker calling his flashlight a “phone torch”.

excellent!

Loved the Narrator! His voice work made it easy to distinguish characters and their emotions. The story itself was well written and engaging. some things didn't make much sense to me, but it didn't take away from the appeal.
