Red Rabbit

De: Alex Grecian

Narrado por: John Pirhalla

Long-listed, Barnes and Noble Best New Books of the Year, 2023

"Impossible to put down.”—Kelly Link, author of Pulitzer Prize finalist Get In Trouble

From bestselling author Alex Grecian comes a folk horror epic about a ragtag posse that must track down a witch through a wild west beset by demons and ghosts—and where death is always just around the bend.

Sadie Grace is wanted for witchcraft, dead (or alive). And every hired gun in Kansas is out to collect the bounty on her head, including bona fide witch hunter Old Tom and his mysterious, mute ward, Rabbit.

On the road to Burden County, they’re joined by two vagabond cowboys with a strong sense of adventure–but no sense of purpose–and a recently widowed schoolteacher with nothing left to lose. As their posse grows, so too does the danger.

Racing along the drought-stricken plains in a stolen red stagecoach, they encounter monsters more wicked than witches lurking along the dusty trail. But the crew is determined to get that bounty, or die trying.

Written with the devilish cadence of Stephen Graham Jones and the pulse-pounding brutality of Nick Cutter, Red Rabbit is a supernatural adventure of luck and misfortune.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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 Pulitzer Prize finalist Get In Trouble

“Echoing True Grit, The Good 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

Characters

I absolutely loved all the characters and their portrayals. Tom Goggins was my favorite character. The most fun I’ve had reading a book in a long time.

Not bad but very predictable

You can’t go wrong with folk horror in a western setting. The characters were okay nothing special and the plot was simple and To the point. This was more of a comfort read... Worth the credit if you want a easy horror read.

I wish more audiobooks incorporated songs.

Very engaging Wild West fantasy. Wonderfully dark, but still a little goofy. I especially enjoyed the singing. I wish more audiobooks would incorporate music into the telling.

great story!!

Fantastic wild West supernatural yarn!! it all comes together so well!!! Highly recommend this one!

Awesome adventure story

This is a great supernatural wild west story. Felt like a cowboy story with cool references to old legends but overall original. Couldn’t recommend it higher. Can’t wait till march for the next story in the series. Narrator does an awesome job!

Great story

I really loved the story. I liked how it was set in the old west. I never knew cowboys to fight ghouls, demons n witches. It was something new. It was like two different genres meeting for a coffee and realizing they could become great friends.

a great mix of old west setting and the paranormal

saw this as a Facebook ad and so glad I gave it a chance! once I started the story I couldn't stop listening. great story telling and characters. if you like western and the paranormal you'll like this. I've already recommended it to others.

Totally engrossing!

there were many things I loved about this book, but what stood out foremost was the pacing. At no time was I on the edge of my seat, but at no time was I not fully engaged in the story. Very good writing.

Just great

Excellent narrator reads excellent book. Fun horror Western. Clean prose. Good characterization brought to life by the voice actor.

Scratched an itch I didn’t know I had

I really enjoyed this. The story was very engaging with some good twists and turns and some memorable and fun characters. The narrator did a good job with all the characters and I especially liked the singing bits. Western horror was not really a genre I have read before but it was a lot more fun than I expected. Good pacing and atmosphere helped too. I hope to find more books similar to this one.
