Synopsis
Each of the stories that make up Damage represent a new take on the theme of difference and strangeness in human life. There are elements of traditional horror, fantasy and the supernatural, but also of beauty, humour, compassion and love. In Homecraft two children learn to survive in a derelict building; a rock singer deals with her addictions in Siren ; in Selkie: A Scottish Idyll , the traditional Celtic tale is given a modern twist; the title story follows an asylum-seeker leading a double life; the strange rituals of a group of bird watchers are charted in Boom Bird ; and in Northern Light an Icelandic myth unravels in a contemporary setting. Damage explores the fragility of life and love and how they can sometimes survive against the odds, despite the damage that is done to them.
