The Ghosts of the Tattered Crow has a prevailing creepiness that mixes with a bit of curiosity that really keeps the reader invested in what’s happening. In 28 pages we get a story written with a wonderful amount of detail and emotion that keeps the pages turning. I was surprised that Eldritch really manage to capture the grit and grim of what I assume is a Victorian age London in so few pages. The ghosts are rather eerily and a bit sad, and the fact that they are apparently quite numerous makes the whole thing a bit unsettling. I love that each character clearly has its own personality and that Eldritch took the time to flesh out someone even though they’d only be present for a few pages.
I do wish that perhaps there had been more added to some aspects of the story but I found this to be well worth my time to read. I’ll be on the look out for more of Eldritch Black’s work from here on out.
