There’s a risk that the reader’s expectations aren’t met or that the idea doesn’t sit as intended. Building on existing canon or drawing inspiration from established settings can help to get you into the action faster, but it’s also something of a double edged sword. One-shots can be pretty tricky to land well. Unfortunately (for them at least), a spirit of vengeance has risen to right wrongs in a way only The Crow can. It’s Christmas and there’s a cabin in the woods where a group of dangerous individuals have gathered as a kind of sociopath’s retreat. For that reason, the premise of Hark the Herald definitely caught my attention. Don’t get me wrong, I love the festive season and everything that goes with it, but when given the opportunity for something a tad different I’ll grab it with both hands. It’s that time of year when we’re bombarded with Hallmark movies and saccharin sentiments of goodwill.
