The Christmas Bird Diary
Set against the backdrop of a snowy 1960s Montreal, "The Christmas Bird Diary" follows Mairin Lang, a university student returning home for the holidays. What begins as a typical family Christmas soon transforms into an intriguing scientific mystery when Mairin discovers her late grandfather Murray's ornithological diary.
Dark Flock
Dark Flock isn't your average novel. It's a curated collection of freaky feathered fiction. From post-apocalyptic birding expeditions to eerie encounters with surreal avian forces, each story in this collection will leave you questioning reality. Join characters as they navigate through twisted narratives set in Denmark, Korea, and beyond, where the line between the natural and the supernatural blurs. With a blend of mystery, dystopia, and paranormal, "Dark Flock" promises to captivate readers with its unique concepts in Matt Poll’s world of Twilight Zone Birding.

Through the telling of stories we can tackle the topics which keep us up at night.

COLLECTION REVIEWS
This isn’t the typical book I would pick up and read, however, look at this cover! I’ve also wanted to dip my toes in reading more anthologies, so was excited to give this book a try. I have yet to read all the stories but wanted to leave a review about the story I, Dan Monroe, am Dead. I loved this story! I thought it was an original concept (which can be hard to come by). I felt for the characters, I gasped, I laughed, and it made me think about life. It discusses the decisions we make and what those decisions mean and if/how they make us who we are. It was a fantastic read and I’m looking forward to reading more from Hananya le Clercq!

This is an exciting project from The Stygian Society and I am happy to be part of it.
If you like darker stories and want to read a variety of writing, perhaps find a new favourite author, I say give this a try.
-Bookworm Adventure Girl
This is the most amazing collection of short stories ever! It may seemed biased but I am truly honored to be a part of this project in collaboration with some of the most talented voices I had the pleasure to write with!
-Linda Peli
Filled with spooky and twisty good reads, this collection of poems and short stories is the perfect read for those dark and stormy nights. With characters to root for and great internal and external conflicts, these tales will keep you reading to discover what happens!
-Holly Davis
Intriguing stories with dark depths
This collection took me into a realm I don't usually explore and I enjoyed the experience. A wide range of stories and authors make for rewarding reading.
-Clear Thinker
A fascinating, eclectic collection of short stories
Very interesting read. Thought provoking yet not in an overbearing way. In addition, the collection of short stories is great when you have only a short time to read. You can complete the story and not be left hanging. Overall, very enjoyable. I highly recommend it.
-Paul Mandry
I'm not usually an anthology person, but I think this collection might have changed my mind. Great variety in stories within each section, with 3-4 that really stood out and resonated with me. Will be keeping an eye out for future releases!
-Kayla
Overall, an enjoyable collection of stories. My favorites, in order of appearance: The Education of Henry James by Jeremy Fee, The Horror of Chateau Casquette by Bonsart Bokel, and Sanctum by Desiree M. Ortega.
-John (Hey Y'all Listen Up)
Different but good.
This collection of stories was a really good read. The progression made sense and oddly seemed like they were written by the same author. It was definitely a page turner and left me thinking.
-Dana Rivera
Great writers.
​Great misunderstood minds
-Max
I was eager to read this. Some of the stories are fantastic. It took me quite a while to get through, but it’s a compilation of short stories so at least there’s nothing lost in setting the book down for a while!
-Jen Sangiovanni
Exploring the corrosive side of the human psyche and society at large.
The Stygian Collection is an anthology that curates a vibe rather than a definitive genre to explore the corrosive side of the human psyche and society at large. Whether it's poetry or prose, horror or fantasy, each authortuber encapsulates "stygian" within their own unique narrative. Although the collection is expansive in style, reading the anthology as packaged together transmutes the experience into a bottle rocket effect.

DARK FLOCK REVIEWS
I quite enjoyed it. Short dark stories with a bird theme. The illustrations were excellent too.
-Aeroreader
Great read!! Not just for bird lovers! But really good if you also enjoy our aviary friends!!
-Joey
A great collection of bird-themed short stories, well written and fun to read.
-Bootytoot
This book is a collection of short stories that has to do with birds. What I like most is that each one is very different, and deals with things that I didn't expect (in a good way, of course). While I liked them all, two left me wanting more, and one was simply perfect.
