Hummingbird Salamander

’Frankly superb. This pummelling eco-thriller camouflages the true ‘understory’ of societal collapse, and glows in the dark with original thinking’ – David Mitchell, author of Utopia Avenue

A speculative thriller about the end of all things, set in the Pacific Northwest. A harrowing descent into a secret world.

Hummingbird Salamander follows 'Jane Smith', who receives an unexplained envelope containing the key to a storage unit. Inside the unit, she finds a taxidermy hummingbird and directions to a taxidermy salamander. This bizarre treasure hunt, which Jane never expected or asked for, sets in motion a series of events that quickly put her and her family in danger.

As she desperately seeks answers, she discovers time is running out – for her and possibly for the world.

‘Visionary, dark, beautiful, and strange, that rare novel that coaxes you into imagining the unimaginable’ – Kristen Roupenian, author of You Know You Want This: Cat Person and Other Stories

‘Harrowing, gripping, and profound. It's both a thriller and a requiem for a disappearing world’ – Emily St. John Mandel, author of The Glass Hotel
