THE NIGHT SILVER RUN RED
By Christine Morgan
In her take on the splatter western, Christine Morgan crafts a tale about a once prosperous small town called Silver River. The once booming town has dwindled to just a few dozen townsfolk trying to survive. A traveling sideshow of sorts has come through and set up tents about a mile away, and the town is buzzing with the most activity it has seen in a long time.
As curious kids will do, sneaking out to see the show is far too tempting an idea to keep them home, minding their parents. As they make their way to the sideshow to see (The oddities! The marvels! The freaks!) for themselves what the fuss is all about; something much nastier is headed their way, along that moonlit path. Silver River is not prepared for the night that is about to unfold!
Christine Morgan hit it out of the park with this one. There isn’t anything this story does not have! You want gore? You got it! You want monsters, creepy creatures, sideshow freaks, carnies, and dwarves? You got it! How about a notorious outlaw gang destroying everything in their path? Sure, got that too!
Do you want one hell of a good time? You will want to pick this up and read it right away! This is yet another splatter western from Death’s Head press and I really must advise that everyone needs to read these books! They are fun as hell to read, colorful, fast, gory, and just a crazy good time.
Five stars for this due to the overwhelming amount of fun, chaos, murder, and mayhem in this tale.
