A thread for asking about books you've forgotten

I've been trying to find the name of a teen/children's book I read sometime in the early '90s. It was new then, hardcover, kind of a collection of short stories, all dealing with a Southern Gothic/American Indian theme. I remember a train and crow recurring throughout.

Total long shot, but I'm hoping someone else might have read it or seen it?

I do not have an answer for you. But I wonder - did you read any Paul Zindel in your formative years?

three weeks pass...

I'm answering this with a question: Is this Milo Auckerman of Descendents?

We should have a twenty questions thread. It'll be fun.

is there a book where a parrot has memorised a lost hemingway novel or somesuch? it may also have pagan bikers in it?

That would be Ray Bradbury's "The parrot who met papa" in the "Long after midnight" collection. Don't remember any pagan bikers though, but it took me a while to remember what it was in the first place (for some unknown reason I thought it was by a South American author)

i was pretty certain i was mashing at least two books together, there. wow, tho, good call on the bradbury. the other one may be robert rankin or someone similarly horrific.
