Lone Women is a great fantastical horror story, but also a welcome history lesson into how black, chinese and single women played a role in settling the west as homesteaders.  It was suspenseful, gorey, emotional, and a bit funny at times. I enjoyed the story, but was left with many questions at the end.  Wouldn’t mind some plot holes being filled, but satisfied nonetheless.
