The Thirteenth Koyote (Splatter Western) Summary
An evil has returned to the town of Hope’s Hill. When a grave robber unearths the corpse of Jasper Thurston, a piece of the body is stolen, one that will call the Koyotes from across the plains. They are a vicious company of outlaws, part madmen and part wolves. Their leader is Glenn the Dreadful, and he’s out to gather the power of the Menhir, a particle from an ancient evil. The fate of Hope’s Hill—and perhaps the world—rests in the hands of unlikely heroes. A rugged U.S. Marshall, a teenage girl out for revenge, an emancipated slave, a nun with a dark secret, and a mysterious half-breed with the number thirteen tattooed on his neck. The Thirteenth Koyote is a werewolf western from Splatterpunk-Award-winner Kristopher Triana, author of Gone to See the River Man and Full Brutal. Filled with gunfights as well as ghouls, it is a horror epic as big as the open range.

The Thirteenth Koyote (Splatter Western) Review
5.0 out of 5 stars violent, gory, horrific, and gut punching as can be

As you all know I am obsessed with Death’s Head Press splatter western series and the latest installment, without a doubt, is going to be in my top 20 books of the year. In this epic horror story, we encounter merciless, unsettling, unspeakable, and atrocious acts.
It didn’t surprise me that THE THIRTEENTH KOYOTE is a phenomenal book because Kristopher Triana is a brilliant author. I am in awe of his previous book, GONE TO SEE THE RIVER MAN, but I digress. The 500 pages of stellar storytelling and memorable characters make the immense length completely worth it. I never felt a lull when reading this, as I was totally and completely captivated.
The story revolves around a brutal band of outlaws which are half breeds – part wolf, part man. They are a vicious group, so I would say the savage wolf aspect readily takes over. They are looking to find the heart of their former leader, Jasper Thurston. Their current leader, Glenn the Dreadful, is looking for an ancient talisman of sorts called the Menhir as he wants to yield its evil power. These wolf-man-beasts make their way to the small town of Hope’s Hill, where they meet a group of unlikely heroes. This gang of outcasts consist of an emancipated slave, a do-gooder, a vengeful teenage girl, a US Marshall, a nun with a dark secret, and a mysterious man with the number 13 tattooed on his neck. The Wolf men are coming and will leave nothing but chaos, cruelty, and death in their wake.
THE THIRTEENTH KOYOTE is as violent, gory, horrific, and gut punching as can be. Triana did not skip anything or waste a single word to write this story. The vast number of characters did not slow him down, as each one is fully realized. My warning to you is this is a perfectly written splatter western novel with every single evil and offensive thing you can imagine, however it is masterfully written. What that means is, it was all necessary to reach the story’s conclusion, and in the end, it will destroy you.
