There is a house overlooking the vast, rolling plains. A home station where a traveler will be welcomed with a piping hot meal and a downy bed. It is a refuge for the weary. A beacon for the lost. A place where blood and bones feed the land.

Surprising series entry
Revisado: 02-27-22
This slim volume is one of the more surprising entries in the Splatter Western series. It starts off firmly in Stagecoach territory. The 1939 movie, based on the Ernest Haycox story "The Stage to Lordsburg", has one of the most influential set-ups of the 20th, a group of disparate strangers forced together as traveling companions, facing an external force. Great characters, great interactions, and a build up before all hell breaks loose.

Love letter to The Lost Boys
Revisado: 02-27-22
Mouth Full of Ashes tips its hand pretty early as a love letter to The Lost Boys. This was enjoyable but by sticking so close to its influence some of the reveals and plot points don't come as a surprise. If you love The Lost Boys you'll like Mouth Full of Ashes.

Having won his emancipation after fighting on the side of the colonies during the American Revolution, Salem Hawley is a free man. Only a handful of years after the end of British rule, Hawley finds himself drawn into a new war unlike anything he has ever seen. New York City is on the cusp of a new revolution as the science of medicine advances, but procuring bodies for study is still illegal. Bands of resurrectionists are stealing corpses from New York cemeteries, and women of the night are disappearing from the streets, only to meet grisly ends elsewhere.

True Crime is truly dark
Revisado: 03-24-21
Lean and mean True Crime is an origin story in the way that The Witch or Midsommar are origin stories but through a Badlands lens. Like, if Holly from Badlands was the one pulling the strings all along, was a far more willing participant and, by the end, self-actualizes and becomes what she always was, the one to truly be worried about and scared of.

Some things, according to Cody McCall, are worth risking a whipping. Such as, sneaking out with your friends after dark for a peek at the traveling show setting up just outside of town. Oddities, the signs promise. Marvels. Grotesqueries. Exotic attractions and mysterious magics. Not as if they'd be allowed to attend otherwise, not with parents and preacher and schoolmarm all disapproving. But how often does a chance like this come along? There isn't much else by way of excitement in quiet, peaceful Silver River, a once-prosperous boom town slowly gone bust.

LOVE the Splatter Western series
Revisado: 02-18-21
I've read a few of the Splatter Western entries and I've recommended the series to a few other readers who I think will like them. This entry didn't fully work for me. A lot of times in weird westerns or horror/western hybrids, supernatural or mythological creatures are mixed into the frontier setting. The "monsters" here are very human (which isn't a problem) but seem to have wandered in from another extreme horror novel. I found this a little jarring. Not a bad book overall but perhaps best to be aware going in what the lay of this frontier land looks like. Still love the series and eagerly await each new entry.

When Chris' son dies in a tragic car crash, her world is devastated. The walls of grief close in on Chris' life until, one day, a small cut on her finger changes everything. A drop of blood falls from Chris' hand onto her son's roadside memorial, and, later that night, Chris thinks she sees his ghost outside her window. Only, is it really her son's ghost, or is it something else - something evil? Soon Chris is playing a dangerous game with forces beyond her control in a bid to see her son, Trey, alive once again.

Keep an eye on Laurel Hightower
Revisado: 11-27-20
After the death of her son, Chris' grief is all consuming. She regularly visits the site of his death and talks to him. One night she sees his ghost outside her house. The reader gets to see just how deep Chris' grief runs and what she's willing to do to see her son again.
Crossroads is a deep examination of a mother in grief. The depths of her sadness are intimately explored and empathetically presented. You will genuinely feel for this character.
Laurel Hightower is an author on the rise

Jim Hardman was a mediocre Atlanta cop until he was wrongly accused of corruption and thrown off the force. Now he works as an unlicensed PI, trouble-shooter, and bodyguard...often partnered with his drinking buddy Hump Evans, a black ex-NFL player. Hardman is hired by The Man, a black mobster, to investigate the murder of his white girlfriend, a college student. It’s a case that plunges Hardman and Evans into the center of a violent street war that stretches from Atlanta’s seedy back alleys to the marbled corridors of power.

hardboiled 70s influence on Hap and Leonard
Revisado: 04-15-20
Scratches that 70s action itch. Joe Lansdale has acknowledged it as an influence on Hap and Leonard. Caveat: the book doesn't have the best portrayal of black characters. The narrative is constantly saying things like, "the black with the shotgun" for example. And the #2 character, Hump (the Leonard of the duo) runs awfully close to the "black buck" stereotype for much of the first half of the book (his main narrative action is sex and violence). The publisher's note says in part, "...reflects the cultural and sexual attitudes, language, and politics of the period" which is fair up to a point. If you look at racial presentations in contemporaneous crime fiction, specifically the works of Elmore Leonard, you don't find the same language or characterizations. It does work as a piece of action oriented, 70s hardboiled crime fiction but that caveat stood out.

Twenty-three of Shamus Award-winning author Bill Pronzini's stories, all of which display his versatility, his clean, crisp narrative style, and his keen awareness of detail. These tales, including three that feature his well-known series chararacter, the "Nameless Detective", run the gamut from psychological suspense ("Strangers in the Fog") to satire ("A Craving for Originality") to Western gothic ("The Hanging Man" and "His Name was Legion").

Pronzini is an old pro who always delivers. This collection is no different. If you like Pronzini's work, you'll want to read this. If you are new to his work, this might be a good place to start.

Critically acclaimed cult novelist Matt Ruff makes visceral the terrors of life in Jim Crow America and its lingering effects in this brilliant and wondrous work of the imagination that melds historical fiction, pulp noir, and Lovecraftian horror and fantasy.

I'm a long time Ruff fan and this one was great too. Read this before the series drops on HBO! Strong characters and very imaginative storie(s).
