Books Like Red Rabbit

The "Wild West," with its cowboys, outlaws, and other gunslingers, is filled with stories of justice and freedom that quickly gained popularity in film, television, and comics. However, many modern readers began to find the morality dramas of classic Wild West stories to be a little outdated. This, in turn, gave rise to a new wave of Wild West stories that favored horror and supernatural elements instead of gritty realism. For example, in Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian, the Wild West is beset by demons and goblins through which a ragtag posse must travel to hunt down a witch.
