Wraiths of the Broken Land

Soon to be a major motion picture...the horror western that was considered too epic for the big screen!

A brutal and unflinching tale that takes many of its cues from both cinema and pulp horror, Wraiths of the Broken Land is like no Western you’ve ever seen or read. Desperate to reclaim two kidnapped sisters who were forced into prostitution, the Plugfords storm across the badlands and blast their way through Hell. This gritty, character-driven piece will have you by the throat from the very first page and drag you across sharp rocks for its unrelenting duration. Prepare yourself for a savage Western experience that combines elements of Horror, Noir and Asian ultra-violence.

You’ve been warned.

Zahler’s debut western novel, A Congregation of Jackals, was nominated for both The Peacemaker award by the Western Fictioneers and The Spur award by the Western Writers of America. Wraiths of the Broken Land promises to be the benchmark for gritty westerns. Zahler has been spearheading the genre's recent surge of popularity, but others quickly joined in to push mainstream penetration for dark westerns.
