Dan Foley has been one of the horror genre's best kept secrets, and we're proud to continue spoiling that distinction with The Whispers of Crows (his collection featuring new and previously published stories). In the author's own words —
"A gathering of crows is called a murder. When they gather, they call to each other in loud raucous caws or low gurgling whispers. The whispers of crows in these pages involve murder and so much more."
I'm not usually a fan of short stories because I never feel fully invested in the characters (probably because I don't really get enough time with them before the story ends and I move on to the next one). There were a few very short ones in this collection that brought that home for me but, for the most part, the rest of the stories pulled me right in and wouldn't let go. A few (especially the pumpkin carving story) made me put the book down and think about how much I enjoyed them. I look forward to reading his novels now.
