Chance Damnation

One little girl.  Buffalo-demons stampede out of the earth to steal one little half-blood girl, and everything changes.  Aloysius’s little brother Jerome goes missing with her--two inseparable kids whose friendship is damned from the beginning--as demons replace the newly dead.

A priest with a tainted Bible.  A brother with a taste for blood and demon flesh.   A fool with a passion for the machinery of Hell.  Only Aloysius and his brothers can see the transformation--and there’s not a damned thing they can do about it.  Then Jerome returns:  he has found a way down into the demons’ Hell, where they twist the little girl’s tortured dreams into a paradise of their own, a place to escape the demons who, in turn, haunt them.

A Weird West novel of the high plains during the 1960s, a dark reimaging of the conflicts that haunted the prairie: grown men playing Cowboys & Indians and calling upon God to justify their actions.
