Are the events the work of the divine or the demonic? Is there a more human explanation? The answer may depend on the order in which one encounters the various pieces. Among them is the award-winning title story, which was published in an illustrated edition by \u003cem\u003eFlyleaf Journal\u003c\/em\u003e. Central to the book is the crowlike figure of Plague, who haunts the villagers, especially the children. More than anything, though, it is a village of secrets--secrets that people keep from each other . . . and secrets they keep from themselves. The novel is a prime example of the burgeoning literary style known as Midwestern Gothic. Pieces from the novel have appeared in numerous journals, including \u003cem\u003eSouthern Humanities Review\u003c\/em\u003e, the\u003cem\u003eTulane Review\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eink\u0026amp;coda\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eConstellations\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as the anthology \u003cem\u003eLiterature Today\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Morrissey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0998705721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998705729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Twelve Winters Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2017 pg. 213","brand":"Ted Morrissey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48435855163647,"sku":"9780998705729","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3404dcc-7512-4756-b257-58a1532a20ea.jpg?v=1777153159","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crowsong-for-the-stricken-ted-morrissey-9780998705729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
