Publisher's summary

From the twisted mind of Seanan McGuire comes Deadlands: Boneyard - the newest audiobook based on the hit Weird West RPG franchise Deadlands!

Step right up to see the oddities and marvels of The Blackstone Family Circus and Travelling Wonder Show! Gasp at pit wasps the size of a man's forearm. Beware the pumpkin-headed corn stalker, lest it plant its roots in you!

Annie Pearl is the keeper of oddities, the mistress of monsters. Her unique collection of creatures is one of the circus' star attractions, drawing wide-eyed crowds at every small frontier town they visit. But Annie is also a woman running from her past...and the mother of a mute young daughter, Adeline, whom she will do anything to protect.

Hoping to fill its coffers before winter sets in, the circus steers its wagons to The Clearing, a remote community deep in the Oregon wilderness, surrounded by an ominous dark wood. Word is that a travelling show can turn a tidy profit at The Clearing, but there are whispers, too, of unexplained disappearances that afflict one out of every four shows that pass through the town.

The Clearing has it secrets, and so does Annie. And it may take everything she has to save her daughter - and the circus - from both.

Deadlands: Boneyard is a gripping audiobook of the Weird West, set in the haunted frontier of Deadlands, the award-winning game from Pinnacle Entertainment Group.

new universe, no disappointments!

EXCELLENT! This just goes to show that whatever Seanan writes, she kills. (no pun intended) I'm not usually so quick to pick up westerns of any ilk, but I knew this book would not disappoint.

Please keep signing Seanan so we can keep buying her work!

Another score from Seanan

I've read all her series as McGuire and Grant. This plot would make another great one! She always has a unique twist that separates her from the pack and this is no exception. Great western steampunk horror story as a standalone and as a possible series? Well read. Don't forget the social satire and truly scary "monsters!"

Slow start to an interesting yarn

The story starts slow, but has a good ending. It didn't feel very Deadlands for about half the book, weird west yes just not Deadlands. The story doesn't suffer for that however.

I rarely give a negative review

I rarely give a negative review but this is a special circumstance. This book is just plain bad. The first half is long-winded descriptions of sideshow oddities and the second half is a flaccid story about Wendigo’s. Save your credit if you like dead lands

boring.

gave it 4 hours. took four hours to get some action.

and then all she did was make statements instead of doing

maybe there is fun play, but never got to it in four hours. so much for a supernatural western.

Great book

Defiantly captured the feel of Deadlands and has inspired a whole campaign for my group.

Hooked from the beginning

A great story with wonderful description and superb narration. Don't know much about deadlands but didn't need much knowledge to enjoy this tale.

great performance but very disappointing sequel

I loved the ending but it couldn't make up for the slow build and stumbling progression. if this has been the first in the series i would have never tried the second. I recomend the Ghost Walker book and skipping the Boneyard.

not bad Deadlands story

the book was pretty true to Deadlands, I like the horror aspects and the twists in the story.

Great fantasy thriller

Top of the line narration with an excellent storyline made for one of my best audible book purchases

Boring

Very Long winded. Everything takes a chapter to describe .. very slow paced , I couldn’t even finish it

Disappointed
