A short but great read!

With this 100-page novella Jack Ketchum once again proves his diversity as a writer. This time around he takes the reader to the Wild West, a period he has only once explored in the past in a short story that can be found in the collection "Peacable Kingdom". "The Crossings" is a first-person narrative, the account of a journalist who recalls his violent encounter with lawless criminals who force women into prostitution and whose sinister leader has a connection to an old native religion that most thought extinct. No it isn't and while this novel, like most of Ketchum's books, is not supernatural fiction, there is plenty of nasty stuff crammed into its few pages. It's quite expensive at 35$ but personally I found it worth every cent.
