If you love eco-horror mixed with the dark crime thrillers of the Coen Brothers, then we have a new horror novel for you. Coming this December from Tenebrous Press is Lumberjack by Anthony Engebretson, a tale about salvation and blood. Lots of blood.
Lumberjack synopsis:
Nebraska, 1901.
Neville yearns to prove himself a “true man”, but he faces obstacle after obstacle. Along his journey, he meets J. Sterling Morton, an illustrious statesman who could offer Neville the salvation he desires.
For Morton suffers at the hands of an elusive demon, one that Neville himself has encountered. Tasked with killing the creature, Neville hopes to rise to the status of legend; but he may just as easily be crushed beneath forces that outmatch him—or become the very monster that he hopes to vanquish—in this grimly comic, thoroughly bloody historical Eco-Noir tale.
Anthony Engebretson lives in Holland, Michigan (and sometimes Lincoln, Nebraska), with his fiancée, two cats, and a rescue beagle. His debut novella, Sair Back, Sair Banes, was published by Ghost Orchid Press in 2022.
We have an exclusive first look at the cover for Lumberjack, designed by artist Jonathan La Mantia.

LaMantia also shared a video of his process in creating this terrifying cover illustration:
