Book Summary

A ragtag posse must hunt down a witch through a wild west beset by demons and ghosts―where death is always just around the bend―in this new supernatural horror by bestselling author Alex Grecian.

Sadie Grace is wanted for witchcraft, dead (or alive). And every hired gun in Kansas is out to collect the bounty on her head, including bona fide witch hunter Old Tom and his mysterious, mute ward, Rabbit.

On the road to Burden County, they're joined by two vagabond cowboys with a strong sense of adventure – but no sense of purpose – and a recently widowed schoolteacher with nothing left to lose. As their posse grows, so too does the danger.

Racing along the drought-stricken plains in a stolen red stagecoach, they encounter monsters more wicked than witches lurking along the dusty trail. But the crew is determined to get that bounty, or die trying.

Written with the devilish cadence of Stephen Graham Jones and the pulse-pounding brutality of Nick Cutter, Red Rabbit is an epic adventure of luck and misfortune.

Media Reviews

"A witch, a demon, a shapeshifter, ghosts, and cannibals are just some of the characters whose exploits enliven this sprawling, picaresque post–Civil War weird western from Grecian." ―Publishers Weekly

"An old-timey western strapped into a world of magic, witches, and demons, all told with heart and set at the pace of a runaway train. It's the kind of book it breaks your heart to put down when it's time to get some sleep; the kind you hope has a follow-up coming in the mail in a few days' time so you can dive right back into the incredible universe Grecian has created." ―Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley

"Alex Grecian has crafted a winding river of a tale that is fast-paced, intricately patterned, funny, and scary all in equal measure. It's a wild ride and I enjoyed every page." ―Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters
