Publisher's Summary

It's the depths of the Depression, and a mining town in Utah is shut down. Something has awakened underground, and now a monster roams the tunnels. Along comes Hiram Woolley.

Hiram is a man with mystical abilities derived from the commonsense application of Scot-Irish folk wisdom and German Braucher magic. He possesses an arcane Bloodstone that allows him to see a lie the moment it is spoken. Behind the played-out farms and failed businesses are demons, curses, sorcerers, and unatoned wrongs. Bags of groceries and carpentry won't be enough this time. The job will take a man who has known sorrow. A man who has known war. A man of wisdom. A man of magic. The job will take a cunning man.

An occult mystery set Depression Utah

I am a big fan of DJ Butler and his Witchy Eye series. this book contains a lot of what I love about Witchy Eye. A strong americana aesthetic and lots of real world esoteric knowledge based on actual theology and apocrypha.

If you are a nerd for historic mystical traditions, mystery, and folk magic, this is the book for you.
