The nitty-gritty: Another fabulous installment of R.S. Belcher’s weird western Golgotha series, The Ghost Dance Judgement reunites beloved characters and enemies alike, with plenty of action, magic, emotion and humor. Her eyes were huge in the darkness; her hair had tumbled down around her shoulders. She carried as many scars along her flesh as he […]
The nitty-gritty: A complex and unputdownable story filled with fascinating elements and well drawn characters makes this another must read from R.S. Belcher. Oh Rod Belcher, you’ve done it again.
