Wraiths of the Broken Land by S. Craig Zahler is a brutal and unflinching Western horror novel that follows the Plugford siblings as they embark on a violent rescue mission to save their kidnapped sisters from a Mexican brothel. Known for its grim atmosphere, visceral action, and morally complex characters, the book blends gritty Western tropes with dark, almost cinematic horror.
Zahler’s prose is stark and relentless, delivering a harrowing tale of vengeance, survival, and desperation in an unforgiving landscape. Fans of his films (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99) will recognize his signature blend of extreme violence and bleak storytelling.
