Hollow Jack and The Blood Curse of Blackwater
“The Blood Curse of Blackwater” is the first in a series of supernaturally charged western novellas featuring the mysterious gunslinger “Hollow Jack”.
Blackwater Oregon has seen its share of hardships. First the silver mine ran dry, then a mysterious plague claimed the lives of all the town’s young. So when a preacher rode in ferrying a caravan of sun-starved children, the bereaved people of Blackwater believed their prayers had been answered.

Into this cursed land rides the man known as Hollow Jack, a gunslinger with a haunted past and a mission not even he fully understands. Armed with an unorthodox compass and a revolver only his hand can wield, Jack endeavors to rectify the sins of Blackwater and save whatever souls he can before it’s too late. But night is falling, and the sound of children’s laughter fills the muddy streets, calling him to join in their unholy revelry…
