Overview

After stealing a mysterious figurine from the tomb of the peasant Chu-Tzu, a greedy landlord returns to his mansion to find the rooftop covered in crows. Ignoring his servants warnings that crows portend danger, the landlord throws a banquet to celebrate his new treasure. But as foretold, disaster strikes, and the figurine is rescued from the ruins of the landlords property by a passing scavenger. Flash forward one hundred years. The figurine, known as Xiwangmu, reappears in a New York City antiques store and is purchased by a wealthy collector whose well-ordered penthouse life cant dispel his boredom. Acquiring the statuette turns the collectors boredom into terror and a struggle to survive as the curse of crows reasserts itself. Finally, in a future world ravaged by nuclear fire, the Xiwangmu is discovered yet again by a low-ranking "servant to engineers," this time in a surprising new form—its curse transformed by the love of two men for each other into a cosmic blessing."The reach of Glen Vecchiones novella, The Crows, exceeds what one would normally expect in speculative fiction by spanning three continents and four centuries. The lynch pin around which the interwoven stories revolve is an ancient is an ancient blue jade Chinese statue of unimaginable power. Mr. Vecchiones tale masterfully proceeds through time and place without diluting the stunning impact of its mysterious resolution. Its a stunning performance." —Edison Jennings, author of Intentional FallaciesGlen P.
