Publishers Weekly Praise for Red Rabbit: Winner of the 2024 Mountain Plains Library Association's Literary Contribution Award Finalist for the Reading the West Book Awards

“Grecian paints a colorful portrait of a more superstitious America where the death of Death is believable and ghosts and angels shape the outcome of the grotesque incidents that follow. The result is a refreshingly original period dark fantasy.”

Kelly Link, author ofThe Book of Love

“This is a book I’m going to be pressing into the hands of every reader I know. It’s an epic, sometimes brutal, sometimes tender, but always surprising gallop of a book, populated by characters I found myself caring deeply about. Red Rabbit was impossible to put down.”

Laird Hunt, author of In the House in the Dark of the Woods

“Echoing True Grit, TheGood Lord Bird, and any number of classic tales of terror, Alex Grecian’s Red Rabbit is a riotous, Boschian, gun-slinging marvel.”

Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind

“Red Rabbit builds a hearty fire and invites you to sit a spell. A surprising story of witch hunters then unfolds, told in the plainspoken poetry of Larry McMurtry, with a dash of cockeyed whimsy. An invigorating – and entirely moving – tale of the American West.”

Reactor

“Red Rabbit is a completely immersive experience. With a perfect blend of weirdness, carnage, and unlikely friendships, this is an absolute riot of a book.”

Matthew Lyons, author of A Mask of Flies and A Black and Endless Sky

“Red Rabbit is one hell of a rollicking, bloody stagecoach ride across the American West of old. With monsters, mayhem and magic aplenty, this is a journey that burrows deep under your skin and stays there.”

Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House

“Eerie, exhilarating and endearing, Red Rabbit paints the old American West red and wicked, but also creates a world that the bold and curious will love to explore, provided you're handy with a hex and a six-shooter.”

Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters

“Alex Grecian has crafted a winding river of a tale that is fast-paced, intricately patterned, funny, and scary all in equal measure. It’s a wild ride and I enjoyed every page.”
