[Gerry · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun weird western. A half commanche bounty hunter tries to find a boy supposedly kidnapped by Apaches.

The boys father and some others are hunting Apaches because of it, but did they really take the boy, or is something more sinister going on?

I've become a fan of Cody Goodfellow in the past year, having enjoyed his story The Electric Eye, and his collection Rapture of the Deep and other Lovecraftian Tales.

This story is more hard boiled western that gets weirder as it goes along. Some good action, a bit of horror. I really liked it, and definitely want to read more of his weird west tales. I met him at the HP Lovecraft film festival, and he said a compilation of his weird west stories is in the works. Needless to say, it will be a definite buy
