Cherry Crow Children
Cherry Crow Children | Deborah Kalin
4 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
Tulliæn spans a fractured mountaintop, where the locals lie and the tourists come to die. Try the honey. Briskwater crouches deep in the shadow of a dam wall. Ignore the weight of the water hanging overhead, and the little dead girl wandering the streets. Off with you, while you still can. In Haverny Wood the birds drink blood, the dogs trade their coughings for corpses, the lost children carve up their bodies to run with the crows, and the townsfolk stitch silence into their spleens. You mustn't talk so wild. The desert-locked outpost of Boundary boasts the famed manufacturers of flawless timepieces; those who would learn the trade must offer up their eyes as starting materials. Look to your pride: it will eat you alive. Sooner or later, in every community, fate demands its dues — and the currency is blood.

This was awful and creepy and splendid and unique. A very worthy #litsyrc23 - freezer worthy horror.

If you are a genre fiction fan and haven't already done so, do check out the Twelve Planets series by Twelfth Planet Press : a series of books of mixed-length short fiction collections from Australian women SF/F/horror writers. Good for your indie publisher category too.

Ah yes, the failings of "meritocracy"...
