The Crow, a dark character created by James O'Barr, "warps together two of man's strongest emotions and desires--love and revenge," writes Ed Kramer in the preface to this anthology of theme stories and art. A black, nightmarish spirit with a harlequin mouth, the Crow was born to avenge the brutal slaying of his beloved. Incarnations of the Crow stalk time and space, bringing ruthless and horrible justice to rapists and murderers.
O'Barr and Kramer asked an incredible array of fantastic fiction writers to interpret this Goth phenomenon--from A.A. Attanasio to Gene Wolfe, Alan Dean Foster, Charles de Lint, Jack Dann, and Jane Yolen. Shattered Lives & Broken Dreams delivers chilling, graphic tales of mystic revenge, from some of the best modern fantasy authors. Poetry (from Henry Rollins and Iggy Pop, among others) and original art complete this ode to the Crow. Readers of the popular comic book series and fans of the movie starring Brandon Lee will find lots to chill and thrill them in this collection. --Therese Littleton
From Publishers Weekly
An antihero created in the comics almost 20 years ago, undead vigilante Eric Draven has become a major success in the world of cult character media franchises. Now Kramer (editor of Sandman: Book of Dreams) and Crow creator O'Barr have assembled a substantial anthology of original Crow-spawned stories, poems and artwork, including pieces by some of the most respected names in fantasy and horror. "Born of personal tragedy, the Crow wraps together two of man's strongest emotions and desires?love and revenge," Kramer writes. The best of these stories step beyond formula to show human souls tormented by loss and hate. Ramsey Campbell's "Twice by Fire" follows a reborn cop seeking redemption for a crime he committed that destroyed him and his family. Andrew Vachss and Nancy A. Collins stalk their usual terrain, he with a hard-boiled crusader taking on the kiddie-porn business ("The Real Thing"), she with "Variations on a Theme," starring her series character, vampire Sonja Blue. Other standouts include Gene Wolfe's haunting "The Night Chough," in which the crow who guides a man bent on revenge is much more than he seems, and the blackly comic "Carrion Crows," by Jane Yolen and Robert Harris. Last up but definitely not least is John Shirley's spiritually potent "Wings Burnt Black," the collection's deepest, most resonant?and most unexpected?tale, in which the Crow assaults Heaven in search of understanding and vengeance for the death of his beloved. This book is a must for Crow fans but also rich reading for any admirer of literate horror and dark fantasy.

Crow fans will love it.
1999/11/17
形式:ペーパーバック
Anyone who has seen the movie will love this book. The stories are well told and organized with some wonderful artwork and poems inbetween. I found only one story that I wasn't happy with and another that I could not connect to the crow at all. The stories are not at all like the movie. Most are almost an interperation of the Crow and his spirit. Wonderfull artwork. Well worth the money for it. I was not disapointed and I don't think anyone else would be either.

A good combination of art, poetry & shorts
1999/5/22
形式:ハードカバー
This O'Barr and Kramer edited book offers a unique blend of art, poetic verse, and short stories, combined into one volume. O'Barr contributes to all three mediums. His story, "Spooky", is a disappointment. O'Barr uses the same "guy and woman get killed by gang and guy comes back" story. It would have been nice to see him use another set of circumstances, perhaps even using a female avatar since he has been reported to be a very big proponet of one making it to the bigscreen. There is more potential original story in his "October" storyboard that was shown in the last KSP Crow comic. All in all the other stories are good, Chet Williamson as always spins a very good tale. A warning, not all of the stories use the Crow premise. They are more a collection of pain, suffering and revenge, than specific stories in the Crow arena. You must enjoy dark stories for this book to keep your eyes from closing. For those of us that do like them, it is a good read.

Another fine piece of literature from beyond the grave
1998/12/23
形式:ハードカバー
This is one of the best new Crow books out right now. Besides that, it is also a great compilation of individual works for any genre. James O'Barr's new story is just as emotional as ever, and the poems, drawings, and stories from other writers such as rock n' roll icons like Henry Rollins and Iggy Pop (coincidence that they were both on Crow soundtracks?), and literary greats like A.A. Attanasio and Alan Dean Foster. If the TV series were more like this book, it wouldn't suck so bad. More books such as this should be made along with the new novels. This is a great read for anybody who wants to read about pain, retribution, and love. This is a great read for anybody period. Get this book!
