by Jay Wilburn

The last inmate in a prison elder care facility has no history anyone can find. As one man tracks the backtrail of Stone Wicked from one prison to another deeper into the past, the other listens to an impossible tale of violence, the supernatural, and the bloodsoaked Wild West.

Much like James Fanny, I couldn't stop coming back to hear Stone Wicked's stories. This was such a ride, enthralling, absolutely disgusting, horrifying, and hilarious. Literally ALL the content warnings, so please do be wary if that's likely to be an issue, but otherwise dive right in. Fans of splatterpunk will adore it, as will fans of Westerns, horror, creature features, supernatural, character studies, humor, and clever social commentary. I'm not even a reader that seeks out the grosser side of horror, but STONE WICKED was impossible to look away from. I absolutely loved it.

One of Wilburn’s best. This is a non-stop raging storm of action, brutality, and humor. There are scenes that will make you cringe and Stone’s reactions to them can be laugh-out-loud hilarious at times.
