"Gemma Files has one of the great dark imaginations in fiction¿visionary, transgressive, and totally original." -Jeff VanderMeer
In Gemma Files's "boundary-busting horror-fantasy debut," former Confederate chaplain Asher Rook has cheated death and now possesses a dark magic (
Publishers Weekly). He uses his power to terrorize the Wild West, leading a gang of outlaws, thieves, and killers, with his cruel lieutenant and lover, Chess Pargeter, by his side.
Pinkerton agent Ed Morrow is going undercover to infiltrate the gang, armed with a shotgun and a device that measures sorcerous energy. His job is to gain knowledge of Rook's power and unlock its secrets. But there is someone else who has Rook in her sights: the Lady of Traps and Snares, a bloodthirsty Mayan goddess who will stop at nothing to satisfy her own desires.
Caught between the good, the bad, and the unholy, Morrow will have to ride out a storm of magical mayhem to survive, in this debut novel, the first book of Files's "weird Western Hexslinger trilogy... [which] is chock full of hellish horrors" (Mike Allen, author of
Unseaming).
"Ridiculously vivid... A magic-riddled, horror-strewn West with hexes running around wrecking reality and a spectrum of queer characters." -Tor.com
"Definitely promising-tantalizing, even, because it sets up such a fertile scenario and hammers home the themes of love, sacrifice, and apotheosis." -
Strange Horizons
"Truly one-of-a-kind: violent, carnal and creepy." -
