Life in the small town of Perry Falls seemed perfect. Neighbors were neighborly, friends and even enemies were friendly. It was a quiet, secluded town that would have been the envy of Andy Griffith and the people of Mayberry. That is until eleven-year-old Bobby Mullins was murdered and the ravens returned to Perry Falls after a ninety-nine-year absence. A super flu spread across town and people began to hear whispers. Whispers that told of their neighbors most guarded secrets. The people of Perry Falls became less neighborly--less friendly. The flames of old hate were rekindled. The ravens gathered. Murders were plotted. What has been described as Stephen King's The Stand on a small scale, Stark Raven Mad is psychological horror at its best. Buried secrets dug up and thrown into the light for the world to see, a corrupt sheriff, a forsaken holy man, and murderous wives offer diverse storylines and memorable characters.
