What a fantastic horror western. Grecian’s ability to set a tense mood was so effective that at one point I had to stop reading at night and promise that I’d start reading again when it was light outside. Every character felt distinct, and every movement of the plot, no matter what odd town or haunted forest we passed through, kept me hooked.
This novel is also a feat of first person omniscient! I’ve read too many novels recently that tried to do first person close with alternating POVs, and I need them to read this novel and take notes.
