Rose of Jericho

An instant USA Today bestseller!

“Fast-paced, surprisingly funny and unexpectedly grisly, this is Grecian at the very top of his game.”–New York Times

“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.”–Publishers Weekly

“Grecian’s atmospheric tale is a violent yet meditative blend of supernatural horror and weird western, with a cinematic sensibility that evocatively transports readers to nineteenth-century New England. Fans of Red Rabbit will delight in spending more time with Sadie, Rabbit, and Rose, while newcomers can enjoy Rose of Jericho as a stand-alone.”–Booklist

Praise for Red Rabbit:

Winner of the 2024 Mountain Plains Library Association’s Literary Contribution AwardFinalist for the Reading the West Book Awards“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.” –Kelly Link, author ofThe Book of Love

“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.” –Laird Hunt, author of In the House in the Dark of the Woods

“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.” –Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind

“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.” –Reactor

“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.” –Matthew Lyons, author of A Mask of Flies and A Black and Endless Sky

“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.” –Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House

“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.” –Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters
