Nobody guts-or comforts-readers in the same breath quite like DeAnna Knippling, veteran author of 80+ books.
Winter on the northern prairies kills lost souls quickly. So when a flock of crows steals a gangling, lost young girl from a farm, they see it more as borrowing than theft. They carry her to a stinking, crowded nest hidden amongst junked cars and dead refrigerators, wrap her in stolen wool against the blizzard, and give her the gift of something shinier than shiny: they tell her stories.
A priest hiding a murderer's name behind his holy collar. A woman whose hunger no funeral feast can fill. Pigs that come for the man who once fed them. A seal who slips out of her own skin to search for her sister. Every story a monster, and every monster at least one crow's favorite.
Every crow loves telling a story to a good listener. A good listener is a gift.
With her wide eyes and innocent ears, her gasps and laughter and tears, the crows' little stolen girl is one of the best.
Surely no one could be so foolish as to try to take her away...
Cozy horror with the teeth still in: seventeen macabre, tender, merciless tales that wield the oldest magic of all-the story you tell against the dark.
