As the ancient evils from Europe, Asia, and Africa, planted their roots in the United States and her western territories, so also arrived those who had vowed to fight these abominations wherever they were discovered. Common outlaws and gunmen were no match for lawmen such as John Angel and his friend, Sam Walker, hard men who had spent many lifetimes seeking out and delivering swift justice to those unholy creatures that sought refuge away from the light of day. Vampires, Lycans, and those that practiced the 'dark arts'... all were very real and dealing with each came with its own set of rules. Federal Marshal John Angel searches for a Confederate general who had died a decade earlier, but who had recently been seen alive in Colorado. As he travels, Angel crosses paths with Texas Ranger Sam Walker on his own quest for a man named King who had been involved in the reanimation of dead outlaws. Both men travel separate trails, Angel's leading him to a nest of vampires and a badge while Walker's takes him up against an army of undead outlaws. Both men end up on a mission that brings them together again, a hunt for an ancient Chinese manuscript. A very evil book in the wrong hands. Author David E. Read takes the traditional western tale to a gothic level in SHADOWLAND, the first in a new horror western series from Pro Se Productions.
