One of the Twelve Best Indie Horror Books of 2023 - The Lineup

Nebraska city, 1901.

There''s a curse on Arbor Lodge-an elusive demon reclaiming the illustrious home in the name of the prairie-and its owner,

J. Sterling Morton, proud statesman, is desperate.

It couldn''t be more fortuitous for lumberjack Neville, whose greatest desire is to prove himself a true man to the world.

Morton offers respect, security, pride, even the father figure Neville never had; and all the lumberjack has to do is find and kill this creature.

There''s no doubt in Neville''s mind that he deserves to rise to the status of legend. He will prevail. It''s in his blood.

Or else, his blood will be in the prairie.
