Christian | 2 comments Hello! I was lucky enough to get a starred Kirkus review and would love to add it to my page if possible. Thank you for any help you can offer!

I would also like to update the description to what is on my Amazon page.

For fans of George Saunders and Haruki Murakami, Christian Moody delivers his debut speculative short story collection, Lost in the Forest of Mechanical Birds––tales of the strange beauty and shadowy fears that lurk beneath the surface of our everyday lives

Best friends George and Elly start a hide-and-go-seek club inspired by their love of the game, which goes too far when Elly stays hidden for years. An orphan discovers that the trees on the outskirts of town have eyes that watch and record the town’s inhabitants, threatening to expose their most vulnerable secrets. In a world with hardly any birds left, a struggling family lives alone in the woods, where the father begins to create mechanical birds which threaten the only life left. And a man working at a futuristic egg factory spots an anomaly in one of the eggs, which, along with the fact that his wife and daughter spontaneously get pregnant at the same time, sparks his journey to uncover the company’s secrets.

Winner of the 2023 Dzanc Short Story Collection Prize, Moody’s collection delights in the absurd and dystopian, weaving in themes of climate change, surveillance, privacy, and technology that coalesce into a profound statement about the mysteries of the human experience.

Shim (slimmy) | 3793 comments I have updated the book description based on the Amazon page.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking for re: the "Kirkus starred review". Note, Librarians cannot edit your author page.

This request is complete.

Please edit the title / subject of your post and add [done] so other Librarians know it is complete.

Thank you very much! And apologies: I thought that a review section could be added to my book page -- I must've had incorrect info on that. I appreciate the help and will change the post now to indicate completed.
