About this listen

"Impossible to put down.” —Kelly Link, author of Pulitzer Prize finalist Get In Trouble

From bestselling author Alex Grecian comes a folk horror epic about a ragtag posse that must track down a witch through a wild west beset by demons and ghosts—and where death is always just around the bend.

Sadie Grace is wanted for witchcraft, dead (or alive). And every hired gun in Kansas is out to collect the bounty on her head, including bona fide witch hunter Old Tom and his mysterious, mute ward, Rabbit.

On the road to Burden County, they’re joined by two vagabond cowboys with a strong sense of adventure – but no sense of purpose – and a recently widowed schoolteacher with nothing left to lose. As their posse grows, so too does the danger.

Racing along the drought-stricken plains in a stolen red stagecoach, they encounter monsters more wicked than witches lurking along the dusty trail. But the crew is determined to get that bounty, or die trying.

Written with the devilish cadence of Stephen Graham Jones and the pulse-pounding brutality of Nick Cutter, Red Rabbit is a supernatural adventure of luck and misfortune.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

What the critics say

<p>“This is a book I’m going to be pressing into the hands of every reader I know. <b>It’s an epic, </b>sometimes<b> brutal, </b>sometimes<b> tender, </b>but<b> always surprising gallop of a book, </b>populated by characters I found myself caring deeply about. <i>Red Rabbit</i> was <b>impossible to put down</b>.” —Kelly Link, author of Pulitzer Prize finalist <i>Get In Trouble</i><br><br>“Echoing <i>True Grit</i>, <i>The</i> <i>Good Lord Bird</i>, and any number of classic tales of terror, Alex Grecian’s RED RABBIT is <b>a riotous, Boschian, gun-slinging marvel.</b>” —Laird Hunt, author of <i>In the House in the Dark of the Woods</i><br><br>“<i>Red Rabbit</i> builds a hearty fire and invites you to sit a spell. A surprising story of witch hunters then unfolds,<b> told in the plainspoken poetry of Larry McMurtry</b>, with a dash of cockeyed whimsy. <b>An invigorating – and entirely moving – tale of the American West</b>.” —Andy Davidson, author of<i> The Hollow Kind</i><br><br>“<i>Red Rabbit</i> is <b>one hell of a rollicking, bloody stagecoach ride</b> across the American West of old. With monsters, mayhem and magic aplenty, this is <b>a journey that burrows deep under your skin and stays there</b>.” —Matthew Lyons, author of <i>A Black and Endless Sky</i><br><br>“<b>Eerie, exhilarating and endearing, <i>Red Rabbit</i></b> <b>paints the old American West red and wicked</b>, 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 <i>The Spite House</i><br><br>“Alex Grecian has crafted<b> a winding river of a tal</b>e that is <b>fast-paced, intricately patterned, funny, and scary</b> all in equal measure. It’s<b> a wild ride </b>and I enjoyed every page.” —Shaun Hamill, author of <i>A Cosmology of Monsters</i></p>

Really enjoyed this book. Characters and writing were well done. Ghosts, ghouls, demons and witches populate an old west tale

I enjoy horror especially when it's a period piece and recently stumbled onto A Long Way from Ordinary. That book was a fun, easy listen. Red Rabbit is a more mature version that you can really sink you're teeth into. The narration was excellent and the voicework really made the characters come to life and made you feel that you were in the west. The characters felt real and I was really invested in them to the point that when a death occurred I was genuinely sad. The plot of the group out to kill the a witch really develops into something much more branching into a great ghost story. Alex Grecian did a great job of incorporating supernatural and horror elements into the Wild West and painted a very disturbing, scary world. I was sad when it ended and wanted more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it if you want something new and original to listen to.

A great supernatural ghost story set in the west.

Entertaining merger of two genres. I loved how the dead play a part in this novel, great twist.

I couldn’t stop listening. I particularly loved the different places they encountered and some parts were genuinely scary yet poignant and fascinating. Also, I have not read horror in a western setting. So, I truly enjoyed the fresh approach.

Excellent folk horror

This book was delightfully written, always had me at the edge of my seat. The anatagonist got me tensing up everytime they appeared. Gorey elements with some surpising tender spots. Most of the characters were fully fleshed out but I wished the author gave us more about some more background about pivotal - yet fascinating- side characters.

I was fully invested in this book!
