"This ain't your granddaddy's western. Welcome to your next can't-put-down read." Jason J. McCuiston, author of The Brotherhood of Secret Darkness and Other Cults, Cabals, and Conspiracies A train station sits neatly at the top of Main Street, but train tracks are suspiciously absent. A false priest presides over an unusual amount of funerals. After a young man comes home from the Civil War, trees start to randomly appear in strange locations. From the moment Carter returns home to find his beloved western town and the people within it have disappeared and he must win it back, we learn things have gone strange in Scar Ridge, Arizona. The nine stories presented here are intimately intertwined in this isolated location, dusty and hot, a perfect place for the Landowner to work his strange magick. There's an unusual relationship between Jarvis, his hands, and the cattle of his ranch. Cattle drivers experience something during a monsoon storm that's seems to be not quite a deer. A cursed skull is stolen from Danzig's General Store. Each individual story will lead you to the ultimate terrifying conclusion, that there is something truly wrong within this town, within the people, and within this world that might just be part of our own. Welcome to Scar Ridge. And beware. "5 stars out of 5." John Watson, Horror Book R&R
