About this listen
In Gemma Files’s horror-fantasy debut, former Confederate chaplain Asher Rook has cheated death and now possesses a dark magic. He uses his power to terrorize the Wild West, leading a gang of outlaws, thieves, and killers, with his cruel lieutenant and lover, Chess Pargeter, by his side.
Pinkerton agent Ed Morrow is going undercover to infiltrate the gang, armed with a shotgun and a device that measures sorcerous energy. His job is to gain knowledge of Rook’s power and unlock its secrets. But there is someone else who has Rook in her sights: the Lady of Traps and Snares, a bloodthirsty Mayan goddess who will stop at nothing to satisfy her own desires.
Caught between the good, the bad, and the unholy, Morrow will have to ride out a storm of magical mayhem to survive, in this debut novel, the first book of Files’s “weird Western Hexslinger trilogy…[which] is chock full of hellish horrors” (Mike Allen, author of Unseaming).

Read, don't listen
For all that its premise wasn’t really my cup of tea, I was pleasantly surprised at how well Files managed to pull it off. A quirk of the writing, however, is that a vivid narrative voice that is authentic to the time period this novel is set in makes for... uncomfortable listening material (maybe I'm just weak but I think crass language on the level of that which is found in this book is easier to stomach textually as opposed to verbally).

Should be marked as gay erotica
Well the blurb sounded interesting and I like weird west type stuff. however what I don't have an interest in is graphic descriptions of gay sex, thankfully it occured fairly early into the story so that I didn't waste too much time on the book. If you are someone who is interested in such a thing and also the premise of the story then maybe this book is for you.
