UJAHWEK: A Weird West Tale
In the untamed wilderness of Wyoming, one man's search for redemption will ignite an ancient evil.
Ex-soldier Randall Montgomery seeks solace in the vast, unforgiving frontier, hoping to find his long-lost comrade and escape the ghosts of his past. But the wilderness holds secrets far darker than he could ever imagine.
A vengeful high priestess and her soul-devouring spirits — Ujahweks — threaten everything in their path. As the line between the living and the dead blurs, Randall must confront his own demons and rally a band of unlikely allies to face these ancient, malevolent forces.
With the fate of the West hanging in the balance, Randall will be tested to his limits. How far will he go to protect those he loves and redeem his soul? The answer lies in the heart of the darkness, where the battle for his life—and his humanity—will be fought.
For fans of gritty westerns and supernatural thrillers, Ujahwek is a heart-pounding journey into the abyss, where the line between hero and monster blurs, and the only way out is through the darkness.

This fits comfortably in the Weird West genre with lashings of demonic possession and a hint of zombiedom. The trio of protagonists, led by a not-so-lonesome hero, fits nicely together and take the reader on a thrill ride to a desperate conclusion. It's hedonistic reading, something to be devoured, and would not be out of place sandwiched between Howard E. Robert and Joe R. Lansdale. If you read and enjoyed the Weird West anthologies, this is something you will enjoy.
