A deputy's guilt leads him into a supernatural nightmare in 1912.
The narrative centers on Matt Hargreaves, a lawman whose life unravels after a fatal mistake. Published by Histria Scifi & Fantasy, the work uses the backdrop of 1912 to heighten the sense of isolation. Lunde constructs a plot where external violence triggers internal collapse. The deputy’s flight from justice becomes a flight from reality itself. The story does not offer redemption but rather a descent into madness. It focuses on the immediate aftermath of trauma and the subsequent loss of sanity.
The book is set in October 1912, placing it firmly in the early twentieth century. This period allows for a specific type of frontier justice and isolation. The setting supports the gothic elements by removing modern safeguards and community support.

📖 Why choose it
Why this book is worth reading
This work appeals to readers who prioritize internal turmoil and character-driven dread over external action or clear resolutions. It is ideal for those interested in the immediate aftermath of trauma and the subsequent loss of sanity. The book offers a descent into madness rather than redemption, making it suitable for audiences seeking psychological horror with supernatural twists. Those who enjoy early twentieth-century settings and gothic traditions exploring the weight of guilt will find value here. However, readers preferring fast-paced plots or comforting endings may find the experience unsatisfying due to its focus on the protagonist's collapse into an alternate reality.
⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Mark Lunde crafts a potent exploration of guilt and sanity through the lens of gothic horror. By setting the story in 1912, he effectively heightens the sense of isolation surrounding Deputy Matt Hargreaves. The narrative excels in depicting how external violence triggers an internal collapse, blurring the lines between reality and nightmare. Lunde successfully examines the fragility of the human mind under extreme stress without offering easy answers or redemption. This approach creates a persistent atmosphere of dread that lingers long after the final page. It is best suited for readers who appreciate psychological depth and supernatural ambiguity over traditional plot structures. The lack of resolution serves the thematic goal of trapping the protagonist in his own psyche.
