Dirty Bird, winner of the Margaret and John Savage First Book Award and shortlisted for the Thomas Head Raddall Atlantic Fiction Prize, is the bold and unsettling debut from Keir Lowther.
Set against the postcard-perfect backdrop of Prince Edward Island, the novel follows Travis, a young boy navigating a world haunted by the dead, the living, and those caught in between. When there's a knock at the door, his already fractured life begins to unravel-exposing buried grief, warped love, and dark family secrets.
Laced with sharp, dark humor that cuts through the dread, Dirty Bird is told in a creepy, deadpan tone with a dark spiritual undercurrent. Travis's chase for truth-and a Happy Meal-leads readers into a deeply strange and fiercely original story. Fans of Tony Burgess, Joey Comeau, and Lisa Foad will recognize the dread-soaked humor and emotional rawness marking a bold new voice in Canadian fiction.
