Read for SPFBO 9. This was a personal preference issue as I do not enjoy stories this bleak or brutal, and I'm not a huge fan of the Western genre. The prose is evocative and strong, and the worldbuilding in such a limited page count is impressive and efficient. So it may not have been for me, but if one of those things interest you, this is a very good bet
