"KC Grifant comes out guns blazing with Melinda West: Monster Gunslinger—a devious action-packed adventure set in a very weird version of the Old West. Fast, furious, and a hell of a lot of fun!"

—Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Son of the Poison Rose and Relentless

"Melinda West is the hero I've been waiting for as long as I can remember. The world and characters are vivid and magical. This story is a delight."

—Kate Jonez, Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author

"Grifant takes her time building the world and its characters, imbuing all with a complexity that adds depth to this wildly entertaining story. This fun, imaginative, and confident series opener will be a massive crowd pleaser for general audiences…"

—Library Journal

"KC Grifant's horror western hits the road at top speed and never takes its foot off the accelerator, making the book a perfect fit for readers who like their horror weird and their action plentiful … [Melinda West] is a delicious amalgamation of Ash Williams in wise-cracking bravado and Ellen Ripley in triumphant fearlessness."

—Ginger Nuts of Horror
