A Gathering Of Crows by Brian Keene
Brinkley Springs is a quiet little town. Some say the town is dying. They don’t know how right they are. Five mysterious figures are about to pay a little visit to Brinkley Springs. They have existed for centuries, emerging from the shadows only to destroy, to kill. To feed. They bring with them terror and carnage, and leave death and blood in their wake. As the night wears on, Brinkley Springs will be quiet no longer. Screams will break the silence. But when the sun rises again, will there be anyone left to hear?
Brian continues his long list of novels published by Dorchester Publishing with his latest book A Gathering Of Crows. And Brian Keene fans you will not be disappointed.
A Gathering Of Crows is an exceptional book. I read it in two nights, I could have read it in one if I didn’t have to get up for work at 5:00am.
It starts out fast and picks up speed as you feverishly turn the pages to get to the next chapter. As is usual with Brian, his characters stand out amongst the frights, blood and carnage. He populates Brinkley Springs with a diverse group of characters that you come to know and feel for.
Also in A Gathering Of Crows we again meet Brian’s Mr. Fix-It, Levi Stoltzfus For all of you who have read Ghost Walk and Dark Hollow you are familiar with Levi, and what he is and does. I compare him to F. Paul Wilson’s Repairman Jack and James Moore’s Jonathan Crowley. All three are exceptional characters and you should definitely read the books they are in.
Another great thing about A Gathering Of Crows is Brian goes into a lot more detail of the underlying mythos behind his stories. You are finally able to experience The Labyrinth and find out more about The Thirteen. Personally, I can’t wait to delve into more stories about this.
And for all you hardcore horror fans, don’t worry, there is enough blood and carnage to satisfy what you are looking for. The five mysterious figures are evil, bloodthirsty and decadently awesome.
In what seems to be a recurring theme with Brian’s books with me is that I absolutely loved A Gathering Of Crows. Brian’s writing has never been better, his storytelling abilities seem to be endless and most importantly his books are a lot of fun.
Brian in one of our greatest writing talents and there appears to be no end to his fertile imagination and for that we should be thankful.
My advice is to head on over to Dorchester Publishing and pick up Brian’s latest work.
