A Parliament of Crows
by Alan M. Clark
Genre: Southern Gothic Crime, Horror
In A Parliament of Crows, the three Mortlow sisters are prominent
American educators of the nineteenth century, considered authorities
in teaching social graces to young women. They also pursue a career
of fraud and murder. Their loyalty to one another and their need to
keep their secrets is a bond that tightens with each crime, forcing
them closer together and isolating them from the outside world. Their
ever tightening triangle suffers from madness, religious zealotry and
a sense of duty warped by trauma they experienced as teenagers in
Georgia during Sherman’s March to the Sea. As their crimes come back
to haunt them and a long history of resentments toward each other
boils to the surface, their bond of loyalty begins to fray. Will duty
to family hold or will they turn on each other like ravening crows?

This sounds very dark, thanks for sharing!
And I like dark stories. Great cover for this too.
Thanks for the praise of the cover for A PARLIAMENT OF CROWS. I am an illustrator as well as the author of this book. Although fictionalized, the novel is a dark and disturbing story based on true crimes. Not a cold depiction of murders, but an intimate and human portrayal of the reasoning that might be behind such deeds. If anyone has question for me, please don’t be shy.
Your cover is so intriguing. How did you choose it? Those figures make me think of crows.
