A Thing Immortal

A Tale of Western Horror

By: Barry K Gregory

Narrated by: Steve Rausch

When an unspeakable ancient evil returns, an orphan girl’s secret may be the world’s only hope. After witnessing the murder of her mother and enduring captivity by outlaws, a young girl finds herself the slave of a brutal mountain man. Trapped by magical wards carved into the trees surrounding a trapper’s shack, the girl almost gives up hope. The arrival of a ghostly gunfighter, as pale as the moon, changes her fate. An old man with long, stringy hair and a penchant for quoting Shakespeare, he promises her escape and freedom, but only if she trusts him with the only thing she has left… her name.

Together with a giant wolf made of living shadows, the girl and her protector embark on a fateful quest across the hauntingly beautiful plains to confront an ancient evil that threatens to engulf the world.

Critic reviews

“A slam-bang mix of old west myth and dark fantasy legend, A THING IMMORTAL is a gritty, gunslinging triumph, chock-full of powerful medicine. TRUE GRIT meets THE WITCHER.” — Victor Gischler

awesome job

great book i really like it a lot. cool story hope to read more by this author. highly recommend it

Wonderfully crafted

The story in and of itself was an amazing take on the Native American spirits, gods, and monsters that roamed the prairies, forrests, and mountains. The ending surprised me.

Great story!

This was a great story. I enjoyed all the characters. Only one bad thing...it ended! I hope to read the Further Adventures of Hamish Frost one day.

Amazing Story!!

Well developed characters and a story that keeps you glued to it the whole way through. Loved this book and is one of the rare books that left me feel like I was just getting started when it ended.

Interplay of characters and myth

I wasn't prepared to like the book. There are so many books about characters half human and half whatever, with stilted dialogue, that I had almost given up. This kept my interest and I liked the characters that deserved liking, and I cheered the comeuppance of the villains. Hope to see more!
