Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead

Strange things are afoot in the English village where the Willoweed family live.

Unnatural floods usher in dead peacocks and ducks, soon followed by an ominous wave of self-inflicted deaths and a peculiar illness.

From their humble Willoweed cottage, sisters Emma and Hattie are helpless spectators to this unfolding chaos, their childhood idyll disintegrating as fear infects their once-familiar world.

But as the virus spreads and hysteria grips everyone around them, they realise their lives are about to change forever.
A twisted pandemic parable and a tragicomic gem.
