Noose: A Rory Daggett Story

Brennan Lafaro

It's been fifteen years since Noose Holcomb perpetrated the Buzzard's Edge Train Robbery of 1872, leaving Rory Daggett an orphan. Settled in with a new family and a second chance at life, Rory never quite sheds the thirst for revenge. When one of the gang members returns to Buzzard's Edge, Rory's life is violently upended once more. Capturing the rogue spurs on a furious chain of events that pits Rory against each member of Noose's gang, every one more twisted and terrifying than the last, in order to work his way to their leader. With the help of a fellow orphan whose life Noose turned upside down and the town's sheriff, Rory will stop at nothing to be the man who ends Noose's reign of terror, but can he do it without becoming the man he seeks to kill?

Praise for this book

"LaFaro's Noose is a bloodbath of a tale of the Olde West, where violence and vengeance are bought and sold at the General Store and skeletons are buried in the back yard. Burning with loneliness and small-town insularity, Noose is a chilling addition to the western horror genre. A vicious ear-worm that will keep you humming long after you put the book down."

-Lee Murray, USA Today Bestselling Author and four-time Bram Stoker Award(R)-winner.

"Noose is a gritty yarn of strange violence and loss, of regret and brutal revenge, with dark blood running through its twisted heart. I love a weird western and this is a damn good one."

- Alan Baxter, award-winning author of Sallow Bend and The Gulp

"Like a bullet from a gun, Brennan LaFaro's Noose comes screaming off the pages. A blood-soaked western with assassins waiting around every corner, this darkly funny adventure crackles with energy."

- Tyler Jones, author of Criterium and Almost Ruth
