Publisher Description
In 1888 Oswell Danford is living a hard but satisfying life as a rancher in Virginia when he receives an unexpected telegram. A wedding invitation should be cause to celebrate but not when it means he'll have to face past deeds that he's deeply ashamed of.
Now he and his brother, along with their ex-compatriot, an inveterate gambler from New York, will have to travel to Montana Territory to settle an old score they'd nearly forgotten. They will join the expectant congregation at the church for the marriage of their former brother-in-arms. But while everyone else will be wishing a blissful future for the happy couple they will be praying the darkness from their past doesn't devour the entire town. A Congregation of Jackals is an unrelenting tale of betrayal and revenge told with a precision and brutality that will leave you breathless and haunted.
Fans of Zahler's breakout hits Bone Tomahawk and Wraiths of the Broken Land will be floored by this, originally the first installment of his western horror trilogy.

Incredible
I’m not a reader, I find it difficult to focus on books so I’ve never read a book all the way through voluntarily. However I’m an avid movie watcher, and this writer is one of my favorite directors, and I heard this book was similar to his movie “Bone Tomahawk”, which is my favorite work by him. I decided to read the preview chapter I could read for free, and the second I finished it I went and purchased the book excitedly. This book genuinely reads like watching one of his movies, absolutely gripped from start to end, and the first book I have ever read all the way through because I couldn’t put it down. While it is hardcore, if you aren’t adverse to heavy and violent themes, I would recommend without a second thought you pick this book up, and hopefully like me you won’t be able to put it back down
