Culling Song

Lullaby is the story of a reporter, grieving the loss of his wife and child, who is assigned to do an article on SIDS. His investigation soon uncovers that all the children who died had been read the same poem the night before, which he soon learns is actually an African “culling song”, meant to bring death to anyone the song is sung to or, worse yet, anyone who is being focused on while the song is recited.
