A really fun and fast paced adventure, with a fascinating collection of characters. I really enjoyed all of this!

My only real issues were that the author very much has no horse experience, and in a sort-of-western that’s pretty important. Abd there’s also some blatant fat-phobia to a character that really wasn't necessary. Some of the other descriptions were a little clunky, and to start with I didn’t know what time period we were in, but otherwise; it’s a fun little horror with excellent characters

The best way I can describe this vibe is yeehaw Stephen King (in a good way). It surprised me with the direction it went in some places, and wrapped up smoothly and in a satisfying way.
