I hope you love the cover of this collection as much as I do. Inside are six tales that take place in Elwich, a small town full of super smart (and hungry) crows, murderers, demons, cults, and lots of swearing. The stories’ goriness is mitigated by the fact that the book is drawn in a style that makes it look like it takes place in the same world as Harvey’s kid-friendly Casper the Friendly Ghost comics, and by the funny ads that are so close to what I saw in comic books when I was a kid (at least until you look at them closely).
It’s supernatural mayhem — complete with corpse-eating crows — as promised by the cover!
