Very enjoyable horror/western (though more western than horror) about a group that finds themselves on a journey to claim a bounty on a witch. The characters are all very well done and I don't just mean the main characters I mean the entire cast, every single character in this story. All the characters intertwine and pop up here and there meeting other characters on the same road to Burden County: the endpoint of our protagonists journey. The magical elements are very believable, while it is a soft magic system for sure, I like how it feels very at home in this story and unlike any other magic systems I've read before because it's a western. Reminded me of John The Balladeer with just a little more meat on its bones than those old tales. Feels very akin to those, with small different scenarios playing out on the weird and wild west Frontier our characters traverse. While I'd say none of the characters really get developed all that much, they remain pretty consistent throughout, you do learn more about them the longer you spend with them and learn new things from flashbacks or what other characters know of them. Very simplistic (not a negative) feels western but the few horror elements there are also land everytime, and every single character in here matters. That might be my one complaint, too many characters that towards the end you'll lose track of who some of the supporting characters are. If this sounds interesting to you in the slightest I'd say it's definitely worth checking out.
I knew Rabbit was Sadie's daughter from the very beginning, don't know if it was intentional but the author really laid it out there. I learned so much about all the characters that he may have been hoping I'd overlook a single line but I didn't, when it popped up I just said, oh it's Rabbit. And it was. I did however like that all the characters were orchestrated by Rabbit the whole time. That one I didn't see coming because I wasn't looking for it, but having it pointed out to me I thought, yeah that is kind of weird how many characters were willing to join the quest just because. A real Bioshock/ would you kindly moment. Iykyk. And I loved the ending with the ghosts and the living ladies, sadly Moses Burke was the only one I felt a little bad for.
I LOVE this writing style, whatever it's called or however he chose to stylize it... I ate it up.
The gore was great and gripping, it legit kept me awake after the gnarliest red eye.
Highly recommend if you want an easy fun ride!

this was giving too much midwestern with minor elements of eerie instead of western horror & i didn't click with 80% of the characters in this book, it didn't help that the plot hasn't picked up yet either

You're half way there when you employ short chapters and a fast pace to tell your story.
But this weird-western-fantasy-horror-adventure hybrid never really finds its lane, jumping so quickly between points of views amid regular character introductions that none of them make enough of an impact.
There was no doubt some fun to be had, but Red Rabbit - while easy to read - never really got out of third gear for me.

the characters are weak and all the moments that are supposed to be emotional feel forced. A lot happened in this book yet I was bored the entire time. extremely reddit novel.
