“[An] artful first novel, reminiscent of the tales of Poe… Gregory uses a low-key style and subtle lyricism to build an atmosphere of nightmarish horror in a tale that could become a classic.” (Publishers Weekly)

“[A] first-class terror story with a relentless focus that would have made Edgar Allan Poe proud.” (New York Times)

A horror novel about a bird I had to look up on Wikipedia. So digging it. Language is both precise and evocative, and always economical. And? Story's scary too. Good all around.
