Crow & Cross Keys is the home of beautifully eerie writing. I am so pleased that my flash fiction The Croak found such a wonderful lit mag to roost and settle in!
I have an especial love of corvids and I’m lucky enough to live in Orkney which is home to many a rook, hooded crow, jackdaw and raven. I often see crows gather, sitting dignified on a fencepost each, and to me they look canny – or rather uncanny. So I wrote the story of The Croak to try and tap into their black-feathered secrets…
Read The Croak.
Crow & Cross Keys share new pieces of work – from flash fiction to stories to poetry – every Wednesday and Saturday. You can follow them on Twitter @CrowKeys. Fill up your timeline with some hauntingly beautiful writing!
So the next time you see a corvid, stop, wonder and say hello… or maybe just leave her be.
