THE RAVINE

Out now from DARK REGIONS PRESS in ebook, paperback and signed limited edition hardcovers. 

Cavalry officer Stephens wants to keep his troopers safe, but when he is pulled into the oldest conflict of them all, he must choose - to serve, or to die. 

Saloon-hand Jacob wants to live a quiet life, play his fiddle, and sink a few beers. But something has come to his town-something old, hungry, and far from quiet. 

Farmer Joe Clancy wants to keep his herd alive long enough to be able to sell them and save his farm. But first, he has to save his family, as death stalks the corrals. 

To fight the growing menace, the three men must confront their inner demons and an all too real evil, one that threatens the lives of everyone it touches. 

...a cracking tale of adventure and horror with some brilliantly effective set-pieces. - Dark Musings
