SOUTHERN BASTARDS meets American Gods in a high-stakes fantasy series that masterfully blends high-octane action and jaw-dropping worldbuilding.

In GOD COUNTRY, readers meet Emmett Quinlan, an old widower rattled by dementia. Emmett isn't just a problem for his children—his violent outbursts are more than the local cops can handle. When a tornado levels his home—as well as the surrounding West Texas town—a restored Quinlan rises from the wreckage.

An enchanted sword at the eye of the storm gives him more than a sound mind and body, however. He's now the only man who can face these otherworldly creatures the sword has drawn down to the Lone Star State…

In GOD COUNTRY salvation is a double-edged sword.

1 edition

Family drama + Kirby Crackle

No rating

A neat pairing of Kirby-style cosmic gods and rural family drama—about memory and loss and death and chopping up space-demons with a sentient 12-foot sword. It's pulp, but well-done pulp, with enough world-building to feel fleshed out but not so much that it's bogged down in its own mythology.
