With dusty pulp and otherworldly terror, the Stormcrow is a supernatural investigator in the tradition of H.P. Lovecraft. Like a ruthless and power-hungry Indiana Jones, his first adventure brings him to the dried-up boondocks of 1930's South Carolina.

SYNOPSIS:

In his customary leather duster, wide brimmed hat, tweed suit and spectacles, THE STORMCROW leads a Kurdish guide through the misshapen desert canyons of Iraq. This is a man haunted by forbidden knowledge and weathered by his own arcane adventures. This is 1932, and the Stormcrow seeks the ancient Urdish writings of Medo - a madman and prophet who devoted himself to that which dwells in darkness. All he will find are the remains of a tomb and the bones of a crusading scribe. Perhaps, the knowledge of Medo has been written down. Those dark and dangerous words may yet survive.

Four years later, in a small South Carolina township, a young white girl - GWEN - wakes up in the house of a kind black stranger. Her memories are gone, replaced by harrowing and ghoulish visions. Her innocence has been violated by rituals beyond description. While the citizens of Goshen are charitable Christians, they have lost countless children to the followers of Medo - and to the dark manuscript to which this cult has pledged itself. Should they be caught opposing this ancient brotherhood, the people of Goshen will have nowhere to turn when violent reprisal inevitably comes their way.

Tracing rumors of the girl's disappearance to South Carolina, the Stormcrow finds the people of Goshen have gathered to drive Gwen from the safety of their village. With the cult and the townspeople both arrayed against him, his only chance of finding the manuscript (and those who would master its secrets) lies locked within Gwen's dormant memory. To unravel her past and recover the tome of Medo, Gwen and the Stormcrow must confront the horrifying truth that destroyed her mind...

...and face a terror more ancient than civilization itself!

In the rich, pulpy tradition of H.P. Lovecraft, The Stormcrow is a story about the dark terrors quietly lurking between the stars, and about the mad, reckless men who seek to know their power!
