Unbury Carol by Josh Malerman

3.0

---

A modern take on a classic western tale with a supernatural twist. Carol is a strong and compassionate woman, beloved by her small rural township of Harrows, the northern most township on the legendary Trail. But she has a secret condition; Carol is prone to death and often lapses into a coma-like state and for all appearances looks to be dead. During her latest bout of coma, she is betrayed by her husband, the only other person who knows her condition for what it is, and he works to bury her alive. Word makes it to an outlaw who shares a history with Carol and as he rides to save her from her premature burial, he is followed closely by sinister figure shrouded in death.
