One little girl. Buffalo-demons stampede out of the earth to steal one little half-blood girl, and everything changes. Aloysius's little brother Jerome goes missing with her-two inseparable kids whose friendship is damned from the beginning-as demons replace the newly dead. A priest with a tainted Bible. A brother with a taste for blood and demon flesh. A fool with a passion for the machinery of Hell. Only Aloysius and his brothers can see the transformation-and there's not a damned thing they can do about it. Then Jerome returns: he has found a way down into the demons' Hell, where they twist the little girl's tortured dreams into a paradise of their own, and a place to escape the demons who, in turn, haunt them. A Weird West novel of the high plains during the 1960s, a dark reimaging of the conflicts that haunted the prairie: grown men playing Cowboys & Indians and calling upon God to justify their actions
