With hexes in their holsters and spells in their saddlebags, Gracie Boswell's posse is on the hunt for supernatural outlaws.

When Carson's hometown sends out word begging for bounty hunters to handle a calamitous shapeshifter, Gracie knows they're doomed to accept the job. The bounty is everything they usually handle: it's personal, it's dangerous, and no one else in their right mind would ever go after it. Gracie's posse soon ends up in the business of sorting truth from lies, however, as the local shapeshifters and fae fling accusations at one another. A supernatural gang war is brewing—and they've accidentally inserted themselves right in the middle of it.

Book Description
Gracie Boswell's got a charmed bullet, a brand new posse, and a pack of outlaw vampires to kill. The tiny town of Penance has a big vampire problem—and charmslinger Gracie Boswell aims to be the solution. A whole nest of vampires makes for a mighty fine bounty, though, and Gracie is far from the only charmslinger angling for the job. When a charming local layabout and an old competitor elbow their way into Gracie's posse, she's forced to at least pretend to play nice...but trust is scarce in the west, and smart bounty hunters always sleep with one eye open. But Gracie doesn't have much time to watch her fellow bounty hunters—Penance's vampire nest is bigger and more organized than anyone suspected, and there's at least one traitor in the town's midst. Soon, Gracie finds herself in the unenviable position of leaning on her posse...and at least one of them isn't what he claims to be. USA Today best-selling author Liza Street continues to thrill with a brand new alternate history, western gothic series of outlaw vampires, sinister fae, magic, and good old-fashioned treachery. Lovers of fantasy and supernatural horror will fall in love with this world. Pick up Blood Bounty for a wild ride through the dark and dangerous west!

The Vampire in Lore and Legend
Author: Montague Summers
Publisher: Courier Corporation
ISBN: 9780486419428
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
"Throughout the whole vast shadowy world of ghosts and demons there is no figure so terrible, no figure so dreaded and abhorred, yet [looked upon] with such fearful fascination, as the vampire, who is himself neither ghost nor demon, but yet who partakes the dark natures and possesses the mysterious and terrible qualities of both." So begins this riveting study by one of the foremost authorities on witchcraft and occult phenomena. An indefatigable researcher, Summers explores the presence of vampires in Greek and Roman lore, in England and Ireland during Anglo-Saxon times, in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Romania, and Bulgaria, even in modern Greece. More than just a collection of library lore, however, this detailed examination of the history of vampirism in Europe also includes anecdotes and firsthand accounts gathered by the author from peasants in places where belief in vampires was still common. A fascinating, sometimes terrifying book, The Vampire in Lore and Legend is a "mine of out-of-the-way information full of unspeakable tales," writes The New York Times; and according to Outlook, "a fascinating inquiry into the vampire legend . . . a storehouse of curious and interesting lore." Of great interest to any enthusiast of the supernatural and the occult, this book will appeal as well to the legions of general readers captivated by this ancient myth.
