Strangeways: Murder Moon Perfect Paperback Horror Book Review

1868. Ex-Army officer Seth Collins is trying to forget the horrors of the Civil War when he finds himself faced with another kind of horror altogether. Something, not someone, is hunting the people of Silver Branch, including Collins estranged sister. A strange and seemingly unkillable wolf prowls the wilderness, killing not simply for pleasure, but to utterly destroy Silver Branch. But this is a town with its own secrets, ones that it won t give up willingly. Collins shortly finds himself trapped between the obligations of family and friendship. These duties lead him straight into darkness, where he has to find a way to defeat a creature that is neither man nor beast, all the while threatened by the the very town he s trying to save. Gorgeously illustrated in stark black and white, Murder Moon is a trip to a dark West that never was. In the wilderness of the Strangeways, black hats and badmen are the least of your worries. Here, there s fates worse than death and you just might find that your trusty revolver isn t enough to get you out of trouble. Murder Moon features artwork by Steve Lieber (Civil War: Frontline and Whiteout), Guy Davis (Sandman Mystery Theatre and B.P.R.D.), Fábio Moon (Smoke and Guns) and Gabriel Bá (Casanova).
