Hi! My name is... Daria Hilton
My debut novel, Hungry Crow Babies, will be released on August 8, 2024. Join San Francisco water meter reader Morrigan in her profane and profound shenanigans.
Hungry Crow Babies
Can conscious crows connect with a carefree rogue?
A workaday bystander to the city’s vibrant counterculture, Morrigan comfortably navigates the kaleidoscopic landscape of casual sex, drugs, alcohol and promise that define San Francisco in the late 1990s. The endless shenanigans, however, leave her ill prepared for life’s inevitable curveballs, the most troubling of which being her supposed connection to crows. Unnerved by their paradigm-bending intelligence, Morrigan falls headlong into an alternate reality when the crows start talking to her. The wild ride’s psychedelic and subtle revelations push her past the point of no return, but perhaps this is a good thing.
Advance praise for Hungry Crow Babies
In her stunning first novel, Hungry Crow Babies, Daria Hilton brings us along on Morrigan’s tantalizing journey of self-discovery. Part Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and part Siddhartha, the novel celebrates San Francisco and a community of diverse folks who live there. The city’s ubiquitous crows serve as envoys of both the spirit world and nature. These unlikely angels pepper the story with wisdom and charity for their human siblings. Lovingly illustrated by Leonel Lazcano Real, this book is a fabulous read that lends hope to humanity’s future.
