Samuel Shootist, hired gun, regulator. A hard man who lives by his pistols and the cold steel of his nerves. He has lived a violent, dangerous life, and his enemies are many. He has killed dozens of men, stalked them through the desolate territories and brought them down. Now he is the hunted. An ancient enemy is on his track, a malevolent supernatural horror of graveyards and gallows that leaves a trail of ritualized murder in its wake. Born of hell, it is relentless. Hungry for retribution. And it comes not just for his life, but his soul. The black juju has been cast and for Samuel Bouchard it can end only in blood, eternal damnation, and apocalyptic horror.
