Crows on Heartstrings curated by Aubrey Meeks

Publication Date: September 2016 Pages: 270

*I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

Crows on Heartstrings is an anthology of short stories, poetry, and artwork that centers around the theme of “doomed love”. Focusing on different forms of love that are doomed to end in one way or another, this collection brings together many talented writers and artists. 

Each story is unique, interesting, and takes the theme on in a new way, never falling prey to static or boring interpretations. The artwork is beautiful; both the comic contributions and the artwork paired with each story are a delight to enjoy. I received the Deluxe full-color hardcover, and the art was vibrant and gave the collection a little extra something! 

The book also features plenty of diverse characters which was a must and the contributers did it excellently. If you have a love of anthologies, immersing yourself in tragic stories, or are looking for something new to shake up your usual reading habits, Crows on Heartstrings is an excellent addition to your bookshelf! 

Rating: ★★★★ 4.00 stars

Purchase: (Amazon)(Book Depository)

Under the cut I’ve provided my breakdown of all the short stories and how I felt about each one personally, to give you a better idea of what is in the book and which stories I favored.

Got my book from @crowsonheartstrings ’s kickstarter and I’m so excited! Now all I’m missing is the digital part of my reward.

[nerdishfeels]

GUYS!!! Look what came in the post today! Doesn’t it look so pretty?! Thank you @crowsonheartstrings for sending me a copy! I can’t wait to read it! 😍

[crowsonheartstrings]

Hi. :) Have the books been shipped already? You said that the people that pledged on Kickstarter should have it before 11th. Does it apply to all countries? Where from and with what method did you shipped? Sorry, I'm a bit worried it won't come. ^^'

Hey! I made a post on our facebook, (sorry it didn't end up on Kickstarter and here as well.) Originally the plan was to post them by the 11th but we had issues with our shipping materials and I am posting them today. I am on my way to the post office right now xD

We had to push the release date back so that all kickstarter pledges would have it before Halloween, when the book officially comes out :)

Hi! I tried preordering a hardcover but the shipping costs ~8$ to Austria (via Amazon). Preordering at the local book shop didn't work (not even with the ISBN) and it's not available on tbd (there's only a list price of over 50€). Any ideas?

So right now, Book Depository is only listing the Deluxe Edition for preorder. It will be the color hardcover. I would just wait for October 11th for the release date if you want the black and white version which will be cheaper in either hardcover or paperback. Or if you want the color version at a bit cheaper, the paperback color version will also be available. If you’d like your local bookshop to sell it, the best thing to do is to ask them and create a demand so they order our book :) We are fully enabled to be purchased by bookshops, so if you ask for it and create a demand, we are able to be sold in such places :)

I’ll post the ISBNs to the different versions later on today on the tumblr and on crowsonheartstrings.com this way you can look up the exact version you want :)

[crowsonheartstrings]

Hey! Have you tried Amazon.de? Or your local version of amazon? It will be the English version always so maybe that works? It’s not only available on Amazon.com but also Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de and … All the Amazons xD

[thevaliantlittletailorreads]

The only thing available to preoder on amazon.de is the kindle version. I can also see the paperback and hardcover (I guess black and white?), but no prices or option to preorder and the release date is set on September 13th. Just thought I’d tell you, because I’m sure I’m not the only one in the german-speaking area who wants to purchase your book (: I can talk to the book shop’s owner, because she already helped me to get some books that were difficult to get. I’ll patiently wait until the coloured editions are available, because I want to see the book in all its beauty :D One more thing that came to my mind: what about book fairs like those in Frankfurt or Vienna? Just a thought (:

[crowsonheartstrings]

Thanks for sharing! Yeah I had a problem with our publisher about listing it as a preorder. I think the best thing for everyone right now is to wait for the release date. :) Thank you so much for being going this to my attention!

[crowsonheartstrings]

Also, I just checked it out again, the reason the shipping is so high, is because Amazon has the books listed as out of stock on the Hardcover and Paperpacks, because of this the book is only being sold by stores on amazon, buying it from other online shops and hten selling on amazon. I STRONGLY ADVISE you just wait until October 11th, then Amazon will list it straight forward and you won’t have to pay shipping. :)
