Fancy a read that is Gritty and bleak and feels like a mission straight out of Red Dead Redemption?
I read. The Ballad of Seven Bastards by Peter Caffrey so let’s talk about it!
I Just love a western Horror, it lends itself perfectly to the brutality we all love in Horror stories.
This story is set in the mining town of Copper Creek which is ruled by the very unsavoury Elder Munroe.
Munroe and his inner circle rule the town with Violence and manipulation under the guise that they are creating the ‘New Jerusalem’ You either stand with them or you can expect a bullet in your back.
This group of men are hiding a dark Secret from 10 Years ago which is about to come bite them in the arse.
When Elijah Black arrives in town looking for work and a robbery takes place, the whole community are pointing fingers at each other and it’s a recipe for disaster.
I loved this book. Caffrey really captured the feel of the old West.
Relationships are built on dishonour, cash is king and not an ounce of loyalty in sight.
The Ballad of Seven Bastards is a Brutal, gritty story of Opression, treachery and Revenge and it comes highly recommended from me!
Mark your Calendars folks! This September 18, Evil rides at high noon!
Be ready!
