- 1st Appearance
- The Crow (1989) by James O’Barr
Synopsis: The
story revolves around an unfortunate young man named Eric. He and
his fiancée, Shelly, are assaulted by a gang of street thugs after
their car breaks down. Eric is shot in the head and is paralyzed, and
can only watch as Shelly is savagely beaten and raped. They are then
left for dead on the side of the road. He is resurrected by a crow and
seeks vengeance on the murderers,
methodically stalking and killing them. When not on the hunt, Eric
stays in the house he shared with Shelly, spending most of his time
there lost in memories of her. Her absence is torture for him; he is in
emotional pain, even engaging in self-mutilation by cutting himself.The
crow acts as both guide and goad for Eric, giving him information
that helps him in his quest but also chastising him for dwelling on
Shelly’s death, seeing his pining as useless self-indulgence that
distracts him from his purpose.
