Description One pet crow fights to save humanity from an apocalypse in this uniquely hilarious debut from a genre-bending literary author. S.T., a domesticated crow, is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattles wild crows (those idiots), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos (R). Then Big Jims eyeball falls out of his head, and S.T. starts to feel like something isnt quite right. His most tried-and-true remedies--from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of Big Jims loyal but dim-witted dog, Dennis--fail to cure Big Jims debilitating malady. S.T. is left with no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a wild and frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis, where he discovers that the neighbors are devouring each other and the local wildlife is abuzz with rumors of dangerous new predators roaming Seattle. Humanitys extinction has seemingly arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a foul-mouthed crow whose knowledge of the world around him comes from his TV-watching education. Hollow Kingdom is a humorous, big-hearted, and boundlessly beautiful romp through the apocalypse and the world that comes after, where even a cowardly crow can become a hero. About the Author Kira Jane Buxtons writing has appeared in the New York Times , NewYorker.com, McSweeneys, The Rumpus , Huffington Post , and more. She calls the tropical utopia of Seattle, Washington, home and spends her time with three cats, a dog, two crows, a charm of hummingbirds, and a husband.
