Primal Cut

C J Wellman presents a narrative set within the historic Yellow Hotel in Yellowstone National Park. Madison secures a winter position cooking for the Man Camp, a group of forty construction workers operating under tight deadlines. Her employment quickly turns harrowing when she encounters John Deerfield, an angry poltergeist linked to the aftermath of a brutal rape. The story follows her efforts to manage the terrifying spirits while catering to the demands of horny workers who are focused on their schedule. The text draws upon traditions of haunted location fiction and supernatural horror. It utilizes the specific setting of a national park hotel during the winter season to create an atmosphere of isolation and dread. Wellman structures the plot around Madison’s direct confrontation with these spooks, moving from her initial discovery of the ghost to her decision to take matters into her own hands. The narrative does not shy away from violent themes or sexual tension among the staff. This book suits readers who enjoy localized hauntings and stories where protagonists actively fight back against supernatural forces. It may not appeal to those seeking gentle gothic romance or purely academic analyses of folklore. The focus remains firmly on the immediate terror of the Yellow Hotel and the specific conflict between Madison and John Deerfield.
