King Of The Crows Russell Day Anniversary edition

2028, eight years after a pandemic swept across Europe, the virus has been defeated and normal life has resumed.




Memories of The Lockdown have already become clouded by myths, rumour and conspiracy.




Books have been written, movies have been released and the names Robertson, Miller & Maccallan have slipped into legend.




Together they hauled The Crows, a ragged group of virus survivors, across the ruins of London. Kept them alive, kept them safe, kept them moving.




But not all myths are true and not all heroes are heroes.




Questions are starting to be asked about what really happened during those days when society crumbled and the capital city became a killing ground.




Finally the truth will be revealed.




On the 20th April 2020 we published Russell Day's extraordinary novel King Of The Crows.




Russell had first started writing the book in 2016 and the publication date of March 2020 had been in the schedule for over a year but with lockdowns spreading rapidly across the globe and deaths mounting KOTC seemed terrifyingly prescient and we genuinely thought hard about publishing it at all.




After some soul-searching we decided to press ahead with our original publishing schedule and we set it loose into the world.




Now 2 years after the global Covid pandemic began in earnest and with society beginning to edge slowly back to normality we've decided to publish this very limited anniversary edition.




If you haven't read this exceptional book you're in for one of the treats of your reading life - you absolutely will not have read anything else like it.

King Of The Crows is a truly genre-busting novel in terms of both content & structure.




The story is told over the span of 8 years from 2020-2028 using flashbacks and extracts from survivor accounts, screenplays, academic studies, online chat-rooms and police reports.
