Images that serve as inspiration for IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS (Amulet Books, Spring 2013), the story of a teen girl mourning the loss of her first love in 1918 California, where a flu has turned deadlier than a world war, and spirit communication has become a dark and dangerous obsession. The novel will be illustrated with early-twentieth-century photographs, but I'm not revealing those particular images on this board. www.catwinters.com

The poster for the John Cusack movie THE RAVEN. The artwork and bird imagery are so striking, I thought I'd include them as part of my IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS inspiration.
