It's Me Who Keeps the Bird's Heart Beating by Luke Sutherland

4/5 In Luke Sutherland's magical, haunting 'It's Me Who Keeps the Bird's Hearts Beating', Regina overcomes muteness with some help from the afterlife. It's been 6-years since he published 'Venus as a Boy' - which The Guardian described as "a searing, heart breaking work of beauty" - so this story will be warmly welcomed by his fans. It's one of five contemporary ghost stories by Scotland's finest writers for BBC Radio Scotland.
