About this title

From the Author:

Like Poe? The Crow? Horror movies? This is for you.
If you had to ask me what sort of book this is, I'd say it's post-post-modern psych-action-horror. It's a strange stew of Edgar A. Poe, horror movies and literary themes using contemporary characters and held together by the basic story form used by THE CROW with Brandon Lee. The only recurring character from that movie here is The Crow. It's a story of love and revenge and Goths and academia and... Oh well, read it and tell me what you think!

From the Back Cover:

THE ETERNAL ONE

At our human limits, when we’ve gone as far as flesh and imagination can take us, we meet the Eternal One.
The Crow
Immemorially old and inconsolable, he is there only for those who seek both revenge and love, and are willing to go all the way – and beyond.

'Quoth The Crow'

William Blessing is obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe. Like Poe, he is a writer of dark fantasy. And like Poe, he has powerful enemies.
One of them pretends to be a friend, even as he plots to murder William and steal his wife. Blessing’s only hope is to learn the truth about his ‘friend’ before -

But this is the realm of the Crow, where the grave is the doorway to truth.
William must walk through it to discover Poe’s final secret. Then, and only then, with the help of a dark-winged ‘Raven’, can he return to feed on the human carrion who raped his wife and slaughtered his soul.
