I was reminded reading Bird Deity of the Australian author Clergy Coleman.
She uses science fiction tropes to explore ideas of colonisation and racism.

You mentioned HP, Lovecraft.
Who else have been your big influences in sci-fi and cosmic horror?
And what were the big challenges for you with Bird Deity?
And you already have a published collection of short stories, a really acclaimed collection called Firelight.
This, as we've said, is your first novel.
Are we going to see more sci-fi from you, John Morrissey?
Oh, I can't wait to see what comes next.
But this book is called Bird Deity.
It is published by Text.
John Morrissey, it's been great to meet you today.
Thanks so much for joining me for the book show.
Today you heard from Holden Shepard, whose latest book is Yeah!
The Boys, and John Morrissey, the author of Bird Deity.
Thank you to producer Sarah Lestrange.
Sarah and I make the book show on the lands of the Wurundjeri and Wadjuk Noongar people.
