Description
A suspenseful small-town horror novel explores oppression, heartbreak and buried anguish in a wild west setting. When Lady Mae turns 18, she'll inherit her mother's job as the Butcher: dismembering residents who have committed petty crimes. The price of punishment is high, with an index finger taken for gossip and a foot for blasphemy. But one day, Winona refuses to butcher a six-year-old boy, sparking a violent confrontation that changes Lady Mae's life forever. Now alone in the world, she must begin her new job as the Butcher. A chance meeting years later puts her face to face with the Deputy who murdered her mother, forcing Lady Mae to choose between fleeing and seeking vengeance. This is a devastating and alarming pacey read infused with melancholy and humanity, highlighting society's maddening acceptance in the face of horror.
