Wonderful conclusion to a brilliant series.  This weird Western gives us gunslingers, vampires and Lovecraftian horrors.  

Humble writes wonderful prose and really great characters.  Annie and Carson, after having everything taken from them, lead the troops against the biggest threat to humanity. 

Will definitely be reading more from Humble in the future.

Thank you to Cemetery Dance for providing a review copy. 
I'm so sad that this trilogy has come to an end. I care so much about the characters, it's a bit hard to let them go. Buy oh man, what a thrilling ride it was! I can't recommend these books enough. I was leery of horror westerns before reading The Massacre at Yellow Hill, but now I'm hooked. I am also begging C.S. Humble to write more stories set in this world.
