Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of Red Rabbit comes a supernatural horror where ghosts and ghouls are the least of a witch’s problems in nineteenth-century New England.

Something wicked is going on in the village of Ascension. A mother wasting away from cancer is suddenly up and about. A boy trampled by a milk cart walks away from the accident. A hanged man can still speak, broken neck and all.

The dead are not dying.

When Rabbit and Sadie Grace accompany their friend Rose to Ascension to help take care of her ailing cousin, they immediately notice that their new house, Bethany Hall, is occupied by dozens of ghosts. And something is waiting for them in the attic.

The villagers of Ascension are unwelcoming and wary of their weird visitors. As the three women attempt to find out what’s happening in the town, they must be careful not to be found out. But a much larger—and more dangerous—force is galloping straight for them…

Advance Praise

An instant USA Today bestseller!

"Fast-paced, surprisingly funny and unexpectedly grisly, this is Grecian at the very top of his game." --New York Times

"Grecian paints a colorful portrait of a more superstitious America where the death of Death is believable and ghosts and angels shape the outcome of the grotesque incidents that follow. The result is a refreshingly original period dark fantasy." --Publishers Weekly

"Grecian's atmospheric tale is a violent yet meditative blend of supernatural horror and weird western, with a cinematic sensibility that evocatively transports readers to nineteenth-century New England. Fans of Red Rabbit will delight in spending more time with Sadie, Rabbit, and Rose, while newcomers can enjoy Rose of Jericho as a stand-alone." --Booklist

Praise for Red Rabbit:

Winner of the 2024 Mountain Plains Library Association's Literary Contribution Award

Finalist for the Reading the West Book Awards

"This is a book I'm going to be pressing into the hands of every reader I know. It's an epic, sometimes brutal, sometimes tender, but always surprising gallop of a book, populated by characters I found myself caring deeply about. Red Rabbit was impossible to put down." --Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love

"Echoing True Grit, TheGood Lord Bird, and any number of classic tales of terror, Alex Grecian's Red Rabbit is a riotous, Boschian, gun-slinging marvel." --Laird Hunt, author of In the House in the Dark of the Woods

"Red Rabbit builds a hearty fire and invites you to sit a spell. A surprising story of witch hunters then unfolds, told in the plainspoken poetry of Larry McMurtry, with a dash of cockeyed whimsy. An invigorating - and entirely moving - tale of the American West." --Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind

"Red Rabbit is a completely immersive experience. With a perfect blend of weirdness, carnage, and unlikely friendships, this is an absolute riot of a book." --Reactor

"Red Rabbit is one hell of a rollicking, bloody stagecoach ride across the American West of old. With monsters, mayhem and magic aplenty, this is a journey that burrows deep under your skin and stays there." --Matthew Lyons, author of A Mask of Flies and A Black and Endless Sky

"Eerie, exhilarating and endearing, Red Rabbit paints the old American West red and wicked, but also creates a world that the bold and curious will love to explore, provided you're handy with a hex and a six-shooter." --Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House

"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

A supernatural horror where ghosts and ghouls are the least of a witch’s problems in nineteenth-century New England. Be wary of strangers, dark magic and supernatural occurrences. Gothic and atmospheric.

This was an intriguing story with a heartbroken man taking down Death and the consequences of that for the rest of the world while he goes to find a way to fix what he had broken. I liked seeing the consequences of what ends up being brought into the light when people die but not. And I can say, I definitely would not want to live in that little town of Ascension! So it was also a good thing that Sadie, Rabbit, and Rose decided to move in as the link needed to help Moses with his quest and to bring change to Ascension.

I guess you could call this a bit of horror, what with the various ways people died but not and how that kind of shock changed them. It does get kinda graphic but I mostly found it interesting how they could continue to move, even with say their eyes pecked out by crows. I do wish there had been a bit more about the generational witch hunters, instead of just random bits found in the woods and a couple confrontations. Great creepy atmosphere though and it did keep my interest the whole time with the various characters. I did like Moses' journey the best and really felt for him for why he had done what he did.

So yeah, I did enjoy this and I am glad I got the chance to do so. Many thanks to Solaris Books for letting me read this and continue the story of Sadie and Rabbit while getting to know other characters too.
