About this listen

2022 Audible’s Best in Fantasy

In the West, there are worse things to fear than bandits and outlaws.

Demons. Monsters. Witches. James Crowley’s sacred duty as a Black Badge is to hunt them down and send them packing, banish them from the mortal realm for good.

He didn’t choose this life. No. He didn’t choose life at all.

Shot dead in a gunfight many years ago, now he’s stuck in purgatory, serving the whims of the White Throne to avoid falling to Hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his penance and fade away.

This time, the White Throne has sent him to investigate a strange bank robbery in Lonely Hill. An outlaw with the ability to conjure ice has frozen and shattered open the bank vault and is now on a spree, robbing the region for all it’s worth.

In his quest to track down the ice-wielder and suss out which demon is behind granting a mortal such power, Crowley finds himself face-to-face with hellish beasts, shapeshifters, and, worse…temptation. But the truth behind the attacks is worse than he ever imagined.…

The Witcher meets The Dresden Files in this weird Western series by the Audible number one bestselling duo behind Dead Acre.

What the critics say

“A weird and wild twist on the Old West that mashes gunslingers, divine intervention, and the supernatural into one hell of a story. Highly recommended!” Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Kagen the Damned

“The rich mystical elements feel every bit as authentic to the west as the gunslinging and grit, all of which deftly bring the characters and setting to life.” Shirtaloon, Top 10 Amazon charts bestselling author of He Who Fights with Monsters

“A badass supernatural western…It’s like the Witcher goes to Tombstone.” Larry Correia, New York Times bestselling author of Monster Hunter International

A.Must.Listen.If.You.Like.Awesomeness!

This is an example of an excellent story narrated by an excellent voice actor. Rich, engaging story, action-packed sequences and scenes that evoke emotions throughout!! You don’t have to be a fan of the western genre to enjoy this one! Highly recommended!!

One of the best stories I’ve heard this year

I am a big fan of Weird West stories and this is a masterclass in what Weird West can be. Then there the narration. If I could give him 30 stars, I would still think he deserved more. An absolutely perfect voice for this story.

it wasn't lame, like a lot of the audio books that are provided in the Plus Catalog.

This audio book was fun and kept my attention. I was able to throw this on and relax while enjoying something that was interesting and stimulating. I look forward to continuing with the additional books in this series.

Roger Clark always hits

I feel like this book was written for Roger . I listen to the first book about J.Crawrley and enjoyed it. This book also hit the mark. Entertaining and interesting.

I loved the book

I've been listening to this book on my way to school everyday and it makes the drive a whole lot easier and not only hearing one of my favorite voice actors again but hearing them tell an amazing story of what you could call a "supernatural cowboy" go out on an adventure to save people lives but more or less please the white throne, thank you for bringing this book to life!
