Brilliant short story

I have had this short story in cue for the longest time. I am finally catching up.
Yellachile is a short story from Robert McCammon. Yellachile a parrot that lives in a cage and Whitey the voodoo man security guard and nobody wants trouble from stretch. The second meeting is no better than the first when One gets his message from Yellachile via Whitey. But I have no idea what it means. Yellachile the parrot gets around and lives well beyond his years. More now than the forty years that wan has been in prison. But Yellachile helps a man find something inside.

beautiful tale

I enjoyed this story from start to finish. word word word word word word word.

Amazing story

Loved the unique storytelling and perspective. I enjoyed so much, I listened to it back to back.

A powerful story about the power of stories

At first I felt like the acting involved in the narration was going to be too much of a distraction but soon I was captivated by the story and the narration drew me in deeper.

A beautiful story

I’m an avid horror reader, but every now and then one of my fav authors will remind me how important it is to wander outside of that genre. McCammon wrote something truly memorable with this story, and as I listened to it on Christmas Day, it really hit the spot.
