The Crow Books in Order
Rate this series:
The Crow is a series of six books written by William Joseph Martin, who published under the name Poppy Z. Brite, released between 1998 and 2001. The series is set within the same fictional universe as Martin's other works but is not directly connected to the comic book series of the same name created by James O'Barr. The books are standalone but may reference characters or themes from Martin's broader body of work. Martin's writing often explores themes related to identity, sexuality, and urban life, with many of his stories featuring openly bisexual and gay characters. The series continues Martin's exploration of gothic and darkly atmospheric narratives, consistent with his earlier literary output.
