The Last Letter From Perdition

THE LAST LETTER FROM PERDITION
By Kenneth Thomas

Some men run from ghosts. Harlan Creed delivers them.

New Mexico Territory, 1871.
Harlan Creed is a dying man with a satchel full of other people's sins.

When a former friend and fallen comrade lays nine final letters on his deathbed—each one a reckoning, a confession, a loaded gun wrapped in paper—Creed takes the ride. Not for forgiveness. Not for justice. But because finishing what others couldn't is the only thing he has left.

Each letter leads him deeper into a haunted land—one ghost, one truth, one broken soul at a time. A sheriff who buried the law. A widow who buried the wrong man. A preacher who buried his god. A boy who never got a name. And somewhere down the trail, a final message meant for Creed himself… a letter with no name, because the truth it holds was never meant to be spoken.

What begins as a mail run becomes a mythic journey through guilt, memory, and redemption—a Western soaked not just in dust and blood, but in silence, sorrow, and something holy.
