The Magpie Coffin by Wile E. Young
5.0

This is the first splatter western I have read as well as the first book from Wile E. Young and it will not be the last of either! It took a couple chapters to settle me into this world and a slightly different genre than I am used to, but once I found my way into this new universe there was no time to look back. Young takes you on a thrill ride of revenge and intrigue with our protagonist, Salem Covington, and he makes him this mysterious badass of a character that you want to meet but would never, ever want to anger. There are some INTENSE scenes in this book and I could smell and see everything at all times. Young did an incredible job at painting a scenery and all the descriptions of exactly what is going on. Your mind will explode with this book and you will never think the same of pigs again!

5 stars! A GREAT first book in a series of splatter westerns being released by Death's Head Press. Thanks for allowing Night Worms the opportunity to book party this!
