This maleficent thrum feeds off the trauma and quiet rage dwelling in those veterans who have returned home to claim their piece of the American Dream—the quarter-acre lot, the pretty wife, the docile children.That promise begins to waver when a cryptic bookbinder arrives in town, leaving handmade books in trees and mailboxes that speak to the secrets tucked behind storm doors and chain-link fences. His bond with an equally misunderstood young girl reveals further mysteries tying this stranger’s own history to Brookshire’s fate, as a makeshift tribe readies for battle against the evil growing in their town.A debut novel about secrets, community, and the insatiable amoral emptiness that is the true embodiment of war, American Crow tells a thrilling, page-turning story set against the darkest echoes of humanity. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/bb928450-ca97-11f1-87af-a5fe78201b78-rimg-w493-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg RYAN BURRUSS has enjoyed fiction bylines in Prairie Schooner, The Carolina Quarterly, Whiskey Island Magazine, and New Orleans Review, among many others.
