Description
Seventeen tales of monsters, memory, and the hunger that outlasts winter.
The crows are watching.
They've seen the girl. Thin. Unloved. Left outside as her home turns strange and cruel-twisting under the weight of her mother's madness. The walls no longer hold warmth. The family's love has rotted through. And the monsters are starting to slip in.
But crows understand stories. And they're willing to share.
Out on the Great Plains, where the sky stretches cold and empty, seventeen stories unfold-dark, sharp, and feathered with dread. Tales of monsters, yes. But also of the fragile, fierce minds that endure them. Each one told by the crows, to a girl they refuse to let starve. Not just of food-but of meaning.
If her mother comes to reclaim her, it may already be too late.
And if not?
Well.
The crows have always had a taste for tragedy.
For readers of folklore-haunted horror, unsettling transformation, and the sharp bite of stories that know exactly where you live.
