The Crow:  Shattered Lives & Broken Dreams
The Crow, a dark character created by James O'Barr, "warps together two  of man's strongest emotions and desires--love and revenge," writes Ed Kramer in the preface to this anthology of theme stories and art.  A black, nightmarish spirit with a harlequin mouth, the Crow was born to avenge the brutal slaying of his beloved. Incarnations of the Crow stalk time and space, bringing ruthless and horrible justice to rapists and murderers.O'Barr and Kramer asked an incredible array of fantastic fiction writers to interpret this Goth phenomenon--from A.A. Attanasio to Gene Wolfe, Alan Dean Foster, Charles de Lint, Jack Dann, and Jane Yolen.Shattered Lives & Broken Dreamsdelivers chilling, graphic tales of mystic revenge, from some of the best modern fantasy authors. Poetry (from Henry Rollins and Iggy Pop, among others) and original art complete this ode to the Crow. Readers of the popular comic book series and fans of the movie starring Brandon Lee will find lots to chill and thrill them in this collection.--Therese Littleton--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
