This review was posted on The Horror Tree website on October 31, 2025, but life happened and I didn’t add it to my blog at the time. I have a new review coming soon, so I wanted to finally post this one to get back into the swing of things and become active again in the horror community. I finally renewed my HWA membership last week even. It’s been a long drought for me, but I’m back to reading, reviewing, and writing again!

Kandisha Press has outdone itself once again, and I hope to see more from them soon!

I was drawn to this story just by reading the synopsis and I was not disappointed. There is a dark fantasy element to this story, but dare I say it, it has a literary bent to it as well.

This is my second review for The Horror Tree. My first review was not my best writing, so I read some articles on writing book reviews sent to me by my HWA mentor, Catherine Jordan, and I feel this one is a a bit better. I hope to steadily improve my writing as I continue this journey.

This is a terrific anthology with a mixture of the old west and classic horror. I highly recommend it and here is a link to my full review at The Horror Tree:
