The Wild West, a small town with a terrible secret, and an ancient monster on the hunt for human flesh. Montana 1878: Evil terrorizes the little town of Wolf Creek. A hungry creature prowls through the night, leaving behind a trail of gnawed body parts. No one knows it, no one has seen it, and no one can stop it. That’s why Deputy U.S. Marshal Joseph Longtree is sent to Wolf Creek. He knows that there is sense and method behind the murders - but to uncover the truth, he must confront the local corruption and depravity and delve deep into the local superstitions, until he ultimately faces a monster from Native American mythology. Tim Curran is a poet of horror. His language is filled with powerful imagery that embeds itself in memory with thorns and barbs.
