The Curse of Scáthach

by Tamsin Silver

Will McCarty has returned to New Mexico for the first time since he "died" in 1881. While in town for a job, memories come flooding back and the murder of his boss, John Tunstall, still plagues him.

The death of The Englishman ignited the Lincoln County War of 1878. This story of revenge and greed has been told many different ways, but Will knows the truth, and it's time others did too.

Go back to when crooked politicians, mafia mentality, and dirty lawmen were the demons that ran the Wild West, and walk alongside the reluctant hero who decided it was time their reign ended.

Reviews

[Nickie Jamison · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm looking forward to reading the expanded edition - currently this is a short appetite wetting story with the potential to be an awesome novel.

[Erin Penn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Picked this short story as part of the "Weird of the West: Volume One" collection.

Billy the Kid with werewolves, curses, murderin' rascals, guns, and tombs. All wrapped up so good guys and bad guys, law guys and crooks are wearin' gray hats. Some poppin' back and forth in time - following Billy with his gang and William all grown looking back at his younger self.

Interesting twist on history along the lines of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Me, I'm not partial to spins on history - but lots are. If this is your cup of sarsaparilla, drink up.
