Black Feathers

The Black Dawn, Book 1

By: Joseph D'Lacey

Narrated by: Simon Vance

It is the Black Dawn, a time of environmental apocalypse, the earth wracked and dying.

It is the Bright Day, a time long generations hence, when a peace has descended across the world.

In each era, a child shall be chosen. Their task is to find a dark messiah known only as the Crowman. But is he our savior - or the final incarnation of evil?

Critic reviews

“If you’re a horror fan and you’re not already reading Joseph D’Lacey you had better have a bloody good excuse.” ( The Eloquent Page)

I loved it, but

Make sure you don’t expect a full climax and big action packed story. It’s a journey, two journeys, really. Well told and beautifully written but it finally hit me about 3/4 through that it was not going to end in a battle. And that’s ok. Reminded me of American Gods in that it’s the journeys that count.

The best!!!!

Where’s the next?!?! It can’t end like this!!! This is one of the best titles I’ve read (heard)!!!

Absolute snooze fest...

I couldn't even finish it. The story absolutely drags on at times, and is full of clunky dialogue, awkward sequences of events, and tons of ethereal dream scenes that don't add much. I wanted to like it since Stephen King said the author was good, but this one is a hard pass.
