Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

A brilliant, bloody, violent dark fantasy – Charlie Huston turned up past 11.”
- Andy Remic, author of the Clockwork Vampire Chronicles

“From its opening chapter, The Dead of Winter lassoed me into its gritty world of gunslingers and demons. A page-turning thrill ride of a novel that could well redefine your perception of the ‘wild’ west.”
- Rio Youers, author of Westlake Soul

“The Dead of Winter ain’t your granddad’s Western. Lee Collins paints a picture of the Colorado wilds as cold and unforgiving as the creatures that inhabit them. And in Cora Oglesby, Collins has created a heroine as tough as saddle-leather, and as fiery and sharp as rotgut whiskey. Read it with the lights on – but for damn sure read it.”
- Chris F Holm, author of Dead Harvest and The Wrong Goodbye

DECEMBER 2012 - AudioFile

Taking place in 1880s Leadville, Colorado, this cross-genre story features Cora Oglesby and her husband, Ben. They’re a monster-hunting team that destroys nests of vampires, and now they’re tracking a Native American “wendigo.” Kaleo Griffith’s low, steady voice adds realism and drama to this supernatural tale. He finds natural voices and even a passable British accent for the assortment of likable characters usual to the Western genre: law officers, prostitutes, and miners. Griffith also offers impeccable timing in his intense yet understated performance. His voice resonates with Cora’s tension and superbly reflects her strength and determination.
