The Crane’s View series takes place in a small, fictional American town where strange things happen beneath the surface of ordinary life. Beginning with Kissing the Beehive in 1997, the trilogy explores the town and its residents through stories that blend literary fiction with subtle supernatural elements.

Jonathan Carroll uses the small-town setting to create an atmosphere of familiarity that makes the intrusions of the uncanny all the more unsettling. The series showcases his ability to write characters whose personal histories and relationships are as compelling as the mysterious events that surround them.
