Description
Word travels slowly across a desert plane. By the time Blue arrived back to La Plateau after word that his family ranch had been taken over by marauders, he found another mystery plaguing the townsfolk.
Three musicians have been singing death songs, terrorizing the locals. Those who can leave are fleeing, but pride keeps others around, hoping a death song isn’t sung for them. Those unfortunates don’t make it through the night, and the aftermath is a testament to brutality.
After such a strange homecoming, Blue seeks guidance from an old flame. Louise uses her psychic abilities, but the cloud of darkness hanging over La Plateau is thick. The people are scared. Blue has to face the fears of an entire town and partner up with unlikely allies to have a chance at getting the family ranch back from a gang of psychopaths with one motive: vengeance against Blue Covington.
Who’s name will be on the lips that sing the next death song?

Saddle up partners for this fantastic western horror novella which features gruesomely bloody kills, a revenge story, and black magic.
Blue is a bounty hunter with a reputation. When he finds out his momma's ranch has been taken over, he heads back home to reclaim it.
But his town has another problem. A group of traveling musicians with supernatural powers sing death songs each night. Whomever they sing it to is brutally killed in the night and it appears they can't die.
With a psychopathic group holed up at the ranch waiting to kill Blue, and this group of murderous musicians, Blue is headed back to more than he bargained for.
This story is going to place all these elements together and creates a horrifying, bloody, and (at times) heartfelt narrative which will keep you reading until the end.
The characters are ones you'll love and loathe and there's a palm reader who will play her part and really rounds this novella out wonderfully.
Filled with wild west vibes and teeming with atmosphere and dread, I can highly recommend this western horror.

I got this arc for review on netgally.
Might be 4.5 stars but definitely more of a 5 stars then a 4 stars.
I was intrigued with the synopsis and very quickly got invested in the story and it's characters even if a lot of them weren'tvery lukeable. It was gruesome in parts and the death songs very terrifying to think about. I really liked the book.
