The savagery of the hungry damned! An unholy trio their only salvation! Southeastern Oklahoma of the 1860s: Little Dixie to some. Hell to others... In the chaotic years following the end of the Civil War, Little Dixie is a brutal no-man's land where life and death are dictated not just by gangs of lawless thugs, but by far more sinister things as well. Shadowy beings that wlak the line in the dirt separating Jesus from the Devil, writing their names in blood, terror, and human suffering. Such is the woeful condition of Coffin Mills, a town cursed by a history of dark arts and shameful secrets. Something wicked has been stealing the town's children, something not of this world, or even the next. Salvation arrives in the form of a trio of mysterious gunslingers known throughout the South as the Haints, a legendary band of bounty hunters specializing in tracking prety of a supernatural variety. They kill monsters, plain and simple. Haunted by a violent past that will either deliver or destroy them, will they emancipate Coffin Mills from its otherworldly predator, or will all be lost to something far worse than even eternal damnation? less
