“A total solar eclipse is the most spectacular celestial phenomenon that earth-bound humans can behold. Most will agree, it is truly a miracle of nature.”
Vernon Oickle, Ten Crows for a Time of Joyous Bliss

“Come on, Cliff Graham. Get a god-damned grip. Slipping out from behind his hiding place, he thinks, these freaking crows are going to be the death of me yet.

He’s been dealing with unusual crow behaviour around this town from as far back as he can remember, and he can’t shake the feeling that something major is brewing with those black birds.”
Vernon Oickle, Seven Crows a Secret Yet To Be Told

“Eyeing the birds that are now staring at him from their perch, Greg breathes deeply, unsure of what he should do. He's heard too many stories about the weird crow behaviour that's become synonymous with this town and he's witnessed some of their antics first hand.”
Vernon Oickle, Five Crows Silver
