In the wake of the California Gold Rush, not all deals are made with gold; sometimes, they exact a toll on a man's soul.
Seth Brannan arrives at Sutter's Ferry with fourteen dollars, a revolver with three cartridges, and a promise made to a dead fianc e. Desperate and haunted by grief, he stakes everything on rumors of a mysterious canyon called "Gravelmouth," where gold is said to be "so thick you can pinch it off like butter."
What he discovers will test the limits of his humanity.
The gold within Gravelmouth flows rich and plentiful, but something ancient and terrible guards its bounty. As Seth delves deeper into the shadows of the canyon, he uncovers horrifying secrets and faces an impossible choice that will determine not just his fortune, but the fate of his very soul.
Set in the harsh and unforgiving landscape of 1850s California, "Gold for Flesh" weaves horror with frontier survival in a dark tale of greed, sacrifice, and redemption. Perfect for fans of historical horror.
Some fortunes come at a price. Some bargains should never be struck. Some hungers can never be sated.
"The canyon had already taken its tithe in flesh. Now it was time to finally settle accounts."
