It Can't Rain All the Time

“This book is a sheer, dark gem that glints and pulses at the very intersection of life and death. Alisha Mughal writes with searing intelligence, exactitude, and soul about heartbreak as a generative force and art as a site of resurrection. Through the prismatic lens of a cult film and its dead star, Mughal finds her own hard-won salvation. Daring, gory, and radiant, It Can’t Rain All the Time is ultimately that rarest of offerings: an act of faith and a testament to hope.” — Claudia Dey, author of Daughter“Meticulously researched and brilliantly presented, Mughal unpacks The Crow’s raw beauty and aching grief — themes that resonate at the core of both James O’Barr’s graphic novel and the iconic 1994 film adaptation. This is more than analysis; it’s a tribute to the emotional weight and artistic legacy that The Crow continues to carry.” — Carleigh Baker, author of Last Woman“It Can’t Rain All the Time is criticism, history, memoir, and poetry: a work of art about a work of art.” — Matt Zoller Seitz, author of The Wes Anderson Collection“Alisha Mughal writes beautifully, vulnerably, and viscerally. It Can’t Rain All the Time is a powerful reminder that the most powerful art reminds us how to feel.” — Anne T. Donahue, author of Nobody Cares
