Ten Crows for a Time of Joyous Bliss pulls you in with the intimacy of a small town and the slow, steady thrum of something not quite right beneath the surface. The familiar becomes unsettling in all the best ways. Oickle wraps humour around fear, warmth around danger, and community around chaos. He invites you to lean in close, to care deeply about the characters, and feel the dread as the story inches toward the edge. Expect to laugh. To shiver. To stare out the window at the nearest treetop. Spoiler Alert: You will never look at your cat the same way again.

From spiders and dogs to people at large-everyone is acting unnaturally, while the all-knowing crows observe it all. Oickle's dystopian tale will leave your heart racing as you turn the pages to discover what horrors will be next unleashed. A harrowing tale that keeps you turning the page for more of what could happen during a solar eclipse. Just hope that when this comes to pass that the crows are on your side.
