![]() ![]() When a group of families make the decision to relocate from their remote, mountainous homes to the more prosperous town of Harvest Hill, in the hopes of capitalising on a recent gold rush, the journey proves to be more treacherous than they initially anticipated. His style of over the top, fast-paced and bloody fiction could not be better suited to a Splatter Western and it’s no surprise that he has turned out a great one with ‘The Devoured and the Dead’. His Laymon-esque Splatterpunk novels, such as ‘A Dark Autumn’ and ‘Prank Night’, are gleefully entertaining, full-on horror fun and he’s no stranger to iconic and memorable characters, as demonstrated by his ‘Lurkers’ and ‘Pillowface’ series. The list of A-List horror authors who have contributed to the consistently excellent Splatter Western series continues to grow and, eleven books in, had you asked me to pick one author who is notable for their absence on that roster, it would have been Kristopher Rufty. ![]()
