The Charred Man (J.Everett Earl Western Thrillers Book 2)
Cowboy and hunter J.Everett Earl returns with an exciting tale of murder and horror as he tracks a hideous being known as "el hombre carbonizado" - the charred man! Responsible for a reign of bloody terror around the small mining town of Bisbee, Arizona in the 1880's, the monstrously disfigured and deformed fiend leads Earl on a chase that can only end with one of them dead, but not before more lives are lost! - "Moving on a few more yards, with some difficulty as the thick cat's claw briars of the ravine tore at our arms and legs as we passed through; we soon came upon another corpse. That it was a younger man was quite obvious, but not even his mother could of recognized him after what had been done to the poor fellow’s head and face. His assailant had taken a rock and pounded his head into jelly, the shattered skull and mangled fly-covered face looking like a flattened mask, but it was what then had been perpetrated upon the unfortunate man that showed the true cruelty of the thing. A nearby juniper branch, about three inches in diameter had been broken off and shoved down the man’s throat to midway into the chest. It was a devilish thing, as the fiend must have surely known the fellow was well past sensibility when he did it. It was purely for diabolical fun and a savage, uncaring bloodlust. As we stood silently around gazing down on the ghastly remains, a shudder ran through one and all about what we might find should we come upon the body of the young bride, something that we all dreaded was just around the corner.
Without a word we trudged slowly on deeper into the ravine, hoping against any reason that we might find the poor young woman yet alive and unharmed. But alas, it was not to be, as within a few yards and around a bend in the rocks of the small ravine we came upon a scene of horror that will be yet branded upon my mind should I be so fortunate as to live to be a hundred. Delicacy hinders my attempt to describe it, but I shall do so as best I can…" - Are you ready to begin the hunt for The Charred Man?
