“Shea layers on the ever mounting sense of dread with a master craftsman's skill, with some excellent tension building scenes…” - Ginger Nuts of Horror

1st time with full trade distribution in all formats. Previously titled Hell Hole. 

Deep in a Wyoming mine, hell awaits. Nat Blackburn is given an offer he can't refuse by President Teddy Roosevelt. Tales of gold in the abandoned mining town of Hecla abound. The only problem - those who go seeking their fortune never return. Along with his constant companion, Teta, a hired gun with a thirst for adventure, Nat travels to a barren land where even animals dare not tread. Black-eyed children, strange lights and ferocious wild men venture from the deep, dark ghost mine...as well as a sinister force hungry for fresh souls.
