The Navajo Nightmare by David Sodergren, Steve Stred
3.0
2022 Horror Reading Challenge: Western
The old west is one of those time periods, that I romanticize. I just don’t think there are many things cooler than old school cowboys and outlaws. The Navajo Nightmare started off so strong. The novela is split into two parts, each part written by a different author. David Sodegren wrote the first part and Steve Shred wrote the second. I wish David wrote the whole thing, because his part, in every way, outshines Steve’s. The first half feels more fleshed out, the characters way more developed, and even the violence carries much more weight. The story is cool, it’s the story of a man, Charles, who looses everything he loves and needs revenge. The devil approaches him with an offer to receive the ability to wreck havoc on his enemies, and the Navajo Nightmare is born.
This could have easily been a 4-5 star book with David solely behind the helm, but as is, it just doesn’t pack the punch I desired.
