- Synopsis
- The second book in the &“top-notch horror-fantasy saga,&” following A Book of Tongues, is &“a spectacular blend of Aztec religion and Western gunslinging (Publishers Weekly). Welcome to Hex City. Population: magicians. Thanks to hexslinger &“Reverend&” Asher Rook, sorcerers now have a sanctuary where they can live and work in peace. But a storm is coming—a tempest known as Chess Pargeter. Infuriated by his former lover Rook&’s betrayal and sacrificed in the name of the Mayan goddess who is Rook&’s current consort, Chess leaves a trail of death and destruction in his wake. Caught up in Chess&’s crusade is Pinkerton-agent-turned-outlaw Ed Morrow and a young woman spiritualist. But there are more than Chess&’s own demons to be reckoned with, including a resurrected lawman with a bone to pick—and a final judgment to deliver . . . &“Paints a stark, vivid, and gory picture of the &‘wild west&’ in the years following the Civil War . . . Files&’s latest is not for the squeamish but should delight fans of gothic Western fantasy and Central American myths.&” —Library Journal &“Files&’ prose remains a delight to read, the cadence of her sentences captures the wild west setting perfectly, and the images she paints are a fascinating mix of frontier practicality and magic bred surrealism.&” —The Turned Brain Praise for A Book of Tongues &“Boundary-busting horror–fantasy . . . This promising debut fully delivers both sizzling passions and dark chills.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Ridiculously vivid . . . A magic-riddled, horror-strewn West with hexes running around wrecking reality and a spectrum of queer characters.&” —Tor.com &“Truly one-of-a-kind: violent, carnal and creepy.&” —Fangoria
