Would you change the course of the World if you had the power in your hands? Or would you try to save the lives of the people who could help you do just that?

In a ramshackle old language school above a fried chicken shop in Brighton, psychologist Frank Newman struggles with the decisions he has to make. Torn between providing the therapy that will ease his clients´ pain – or converting them into a network of viewers of the future.

Steven Richard Harris blends psychology and fiction together to leave you questioning whether neurological disorders are barriers to leading a normal life; or special gifts that have the power to ultimately shape our destiny?

Part One of the Butcherbird Series

It´s nineteen ninety-four, a year when the Internet and Amazon are still in their infancy, Mandela blows away the shackles of apartheid, and O.J. Simpson´s escape from the law is broadcast to millions. It is also the year that Simon Webb first openly expressed the desire to end his own life.

Within the walls of Frank Newman´s austere consulting room, eighteen-year-old Simon confesses his darkest thoughts as his psychologist – plagued by his own conflictive personal doubts – tries desperately to find a way out of the maelstrom of guilt, self-harm and violent dreams that are consuming his enigmatic client.

These emotionally-charged sessions soon turn into something more sinister, however, after the death of grunge music´s brightest star begins to unravel the true meaning of Simon´s brutal nightmares.
