An Unkindness of Ravens An Unkindness of Ravens An Unkindness of Ravens is a novel by British crime-writer Ruth Rendell. It was first published in 1985, and features her popular protagonist Inspector Wexford, and is the 13th entry in the series. On American publication, it was shortlisted for the MWA Edgar Award, alongside another Rendell novel, "The Tree of Hands", meaning she has the remarkable distinction of being one of only two authors in the award's history to have had "two" novels on the shortlist in any one year (the other being Charlotte Armstrong). "Ravens" was adapted as a play by theatre professor Joel
Bleacher Creatures in a 2001 article. He also claimed that "They have thrown batteries, coins and a knife at opposing players" and that "They throw punches at one another." Longtime stadium usher Michael Swann, who used to work in Section 39 of the old stadium, also had a negative recollection of them: On occasion, one or more Creatures are asked to leave the stadium by police. The bleacher beer ban in 2000 was blamed on the Creatures, which they regard as a false accusation. They have also been accused of heckling rattled musicians in high school bands, which they do not deny.
