Noose is an excellent novella which gives us the origin story of Rory Dagget and his quest to kill the biggest, baddest, and supernaturally charged psychopath nicknamed Noose.

This book has all the beats of an almost super hero story. Orphaned at a young age, taken in by people who loved him, and his ultimate revenge on his lifelong quest to kill the man responsible.

But of course it won't be easy. Because Noose has a gang, including a hulk-like killer, a man who is very adept with blades, and a witch! Rory must take them out to get to his goal, Noose himself.

There's not a scene that lags here. Every page, right from the start, is filled with wild west vibes and bloody rampages which makes it such a fun breath taking horror ride.

As a bonus in the copy I received, there's also a short story about how Noose and his witch met when he was just a child. That was pretty awesome and a great addition to this whole world.

I highly recommend this fantastic western horror novella.
