“Birdsong follows an elderly widow, Edith, as she spirals down into darkness from nightmares from an accident in her youth, and dementia. This story delves into the horrors of dementia, and really does an amazing job of it. Marks descriptions are both heart breaking and real, and you can tell he has experience with the disease. Edith’s story had me in tears at some points, and her only friend seems to be a blackbird that visits her and lifts her spirits. Too much more will spoil the story, but it’s a great read and really pulled me in. The ending is fantastic, and brings all of the elements of the tale together.”
– Ayralea Lander
An emotional look at a elderly woman suffering from dementia.

An elderly widow living on her own is tormented by nightmares from an accident in her youth. Her thoughts are breaking apart under the harsh disruptions of dementia.

The only thing she can associate with is the daily visit from a bedraggled blackbird.

Reality and fiction blur, confusion threatens to overwhelm, and all she wants is to fly free.

Will she find release from the darkness within, or will her ailing mind drive her to ruin?

Birdsong is a psychological horror from the mind of Mark M J Green.
