Hungers as Old as This Land
Horror
by Zachary Rosenberg
The settlement of Grey’s Bluffs is a prosperous town. An independent community dwelling in the shadows of the mountains known only as The Hungers.
Esther Foxman and Siobhan O’Clery have grown up in Grey’s Bluffs, thriving out on the western territories in the aftermath of the Civil War. Devoted to one another and their home, the two set out to complete a regular pact at the Hungers to ensure that Grey’s Bluffs continues to prosper.
Cyril Redstone is a man who knows death well. Becoming a mercenary after the Civil War, Cyril leads the marauding Blackhawks from one slaughter to the next. Hired to destroy Grey’s Bluffs, Cyril cares little for morality, nor that he owes its founder his life.
Esther and Siobhan are left to defend the only home they have ever known from the Blackhawks, their confrontation driving them deep into the mountains.
Where the darkest secrets of the Hungers await them.
REVIEW
5 out of 5
My only complaint is I wish this was longer – it was an excellent novella, but I wanted more! Rosenberg does an amazing job of bringing the historical setting to life, with great characters that help bring the story to life. I had chills running down my spine while reading this, and I got so wrapped up in it that it felt like the ending came way too soon. (I flew through it in one sitting). If you enjoy horror and old west stories, you’re going to love this!
